Englikh  Govehnmki^t  in  Canada.— On  Sunday  evening,  (Nov.  lltli,  183?, 
MartininasB,)  the  whole  of  tho  back  country  above  linprairie  presented  the  awful 
iipcctacle  of  one  vast  sheet  of  turiil  flame,  and  it  it»  reported  that  not  a  single  rebt  i 
house  has  been  left  standing.  God  only  knows  what  is  tobecomoof  the  surviving 
Canadians  and  their  wives  and  fanjilicsdurnigthe  approaching  winter,  asnoihin;: 
but  starvation  from  hunger  and  cold  stares  them  in  tho  face.     The  history  of  thi; 

East  proves  that  nothinu  but  sweeping  them  from  the  cnrlhand  laying  their  ha- 
itations  level  with  the  dust,  will  prevent  renewed  rebellions  south  of  the  Si, 
Lawrence.  The  Canadians  in  the  rebellious  districts,  whose  houses  have  been 
given  to  the  flames,  and  who  have  escaped  the  bullet,  the  bayonet  or  the  pris'in, 
are  doomed  to  perish  in  the  woods,  for  in  the  United  States  they  can  expect  no 
assistance." — Muntrcnl  Herald^  ton/  goveraintnf  journal. 

English  Government  in  New  Kngland. — "It  will  be  a  record  that  must  ren- 
der the  Hritidli  name  odious  in  .'\merica  to  the  latest  gem-rations.  In  that 
record  will  be  found  the  burning  of  tho  fine  towns  of  Charlestown,  near 
Boston;  of  Falmouth,  just  before  winrer,  when  the  sick,  the  aafd,  the  women  and 
children  were  driven  to  seek  shelter  where  they  could  hardly  find  it ;  of  Norfolk, 
in  the  midet  of  winter ;  of  New  London,  of  Fairfield,  of  Ksopus,  &c. ;  besides  near 
a  hundred  and  fifty  miles  of  well-settled  country  laid  waste;  every  house  and 
barn  burnt,  and  many  hundreds  of  farmers,  with  their  wives  and  children, 
butchered  and  scalped. — Doctor  Jicvjainin  FrnnkUii'ii  description  of  En glisk 
Goternment  in  America,  vol.  1,  page  46!^  of  Ids  works. 

Eighteen  nuNnnEn  and  twelve. — While  the  formal  relations  of  amity  remain- 
ed yet  unbroken — while  peace  was  yet  supposed  to  exist — in  cold  blood  an  unpro- 
volied  attack  is  mado  upon  one  of  your  national  ships,  and  several  American  citi-- 
zens  basely  and  cowardly  murdered.  At  the  inoment  when  your  feelings  were 
at  the  highest  [)itch  of  irritation  in  consequence  of  the  perfidious  disavowal  of 
Erskine's  agreement,  a  minister  is  sent,  not  to  minister  to  your  rights — not  toex- 
tenuate  the  conduct  of  his  predecessor — but  to  beard  your  Execuiive — to  add  in- 
sult to  injury  ;  and  to  fling  contumely  and  reproach  in  the  face  of  the  Executive 
of  the  American  nation,  in  the  presence  of  ihe  American  people.  To  cap  the  cli- 
max of  her  iniquity,  England  resolved  to  persist  in  the  wicked,  the  odious  and  de- 
testable practice  ot  impressing  American  seamen  into  her  service— of  entombing 
our  sons  within  tiie  walls  of  her  ships  of  war;  compelling  them  to  waste  ihetr 
lives,  and  spill  their  blood  in  tho  service  of  a  foreign  government — a  practice 
whicli  subjected  every  American  tar  to  the  violence  and  petty  tyranny  of  a  British 
midsliipuian,  and  many  of  them  *^  a  life  of  the  most  galling  servitude.  Under 
such  accumulated  circumstance^  suit  and  of  injury,  what  was  your  govern- 

menttodo'?     Was  it  basely  an;  "io'.sly  to  abandon  the  rights  for  which  you 

and  your  fathers  fought  and  bleo  .tas  it  so  early  to  cower  to  the  nation  which 
had  sought  to  strangle  us  in  our  infancy,  and  which  has  never  ceased  to  retard  our 
approach  to  manhood'/— iV//-.  Van  Barents  Address  to  the  People  of  the  State  of 
New  York,  1813. 

English  Government  in  America,  1776. — When  a  long  train  of  abuses  and 
usurpations,  pursuing  invariably  the  same  object,  evinces  a  design  to  reduce  them 
[the  people]  to  absolute  Despotism,  it  is  their  Right,  it  is  their  duty,  to  throw  otV 
such  a  Government,  and  to  provide  new  guards  for  their  future  security.  Such 
has  been  the  patient  sutFerance  of  these  colonies.  The  history  of  the  present 
King  of  Great  Britain  is  a  history  of  repeated  injuries  and  usurpations,  all  having 
indirect  object  the  establishment  of  an  absolute  tyranny  over  these  States.  He 
has  combined  with  others  to  subject  us  to  a  jurisdiction  foreign  to  our  constitu- 
tions, and  unacknowledged  by  our  laws ;  giving  his  assent  to  their  acts  of  pretend- 
ed legislation.  For  abolishing  the  free  system  of  Ensliah  laws  iu  a  neighboring 
province,  [Canada,]  establishing^  therein  an  arbitrary  government,  and  enlarging 
Its  boundaries,  so  as  to  render  it  at  once  an  example  and  fit  instrument,  for  in- 
troducing the  same  absolute  rule  into  these  colonies.  For  quartering  large  bodies 
of  armed  troops  among  us :  For  protecting  them  by  a  mock  trial,  from 
punishment,  for  any  murdera  they  should  commit  on  the  inhabitants  of 
these  States:  For  cutting  off  our  trade  with  all  parts  of  the  world: — 
For  imposing  taxes  on  us  without  our  consent:  For  depriving  us  in  many 
GBsee,  of  the  benefits  of  trial  by  jury:  He  has  excited  domestic  insurrection 
amongst  us,  and  has  endeavored  to  bring  on  the  inhabitants  of  our  frontiers, 
the  merciless  Indian  savages,  whose  known  rule  of  warfare  is  an  undistin-

JAN.  2.  1719.  Law's  Bank  tiiie  day  taken  on  account  of  the  King  and  Royal  Bank 
of  France.  Law  proposed  to  make  the  forms,  the  factories,  the  commerce,  and  the 
internal  improvements  of  France,  the  basis  of  paper  currency.  Law  established  his 
Bank  in  171G.  The  general  Banking  Law  of  New  York  State  is  partly  on  the  same 
principle,  andsoditl  Mr.  Biddic  propose  to  make  the  United  States  Bank  fortius  nation. 
Law  ruined  the  French  finances  ana  beggared  the  people  for  a  generation.  And  why  i* 
it  that  the  fixed  capital  or  property  of  this  nation  cannot  be  permanently  changed  into 
circulating  medium,  or  money,  a  measure  of  value  ? — Because  until  other  nations  shall 
agree  that  the  fixed  capital  of  every  nation  shall  be  turned  into  currency,  any  one  na- 
tion (say  the  United  States)  enjoying  extensive  foreign  commerce,  which  shall  adopt 
Law's  plon,  will  be  involved  in  misery  the  moment  the  currency  becomes  depreciated, 
as  it  .surely  will  be.  Other  nations  will  not  take  your  Bank  Bills  for  differences  paya- 
ble in  money,  and  if  you  have  no  cash  your  situation  will  not  be  enviable.  When  a 
landed  proprietor  wants  money,  he  mortgages  or  sells  h  s  estate,  and  thereby  gets  mo- 
ney from  tliose  who  have  it.  If  his  estate  were  money  the  sale  oi  mortgage  would 
n  )t  be  necessary.  Ho  attempt  to  make  it  both  one  and  t'other,  as  in  the  general  Bank- 
ing Law  of  New  Y^ork,  must  fail,  thffrefore,  and  prove  rumous  to  thousands. — 1838,

1798.  Bankof  England— ThiB  inlamoua  scheme  of  carrying  on  wars  by 
taxing  posterity  and  turning  credit  into  capita!,  had  its  origin  at  this  time,  under 
similar  circumstances  to  these  which  occaeioned  the  re-chartering  of  the  Bank  of 
the  United  States.  A  war  had  closed,  cash  was  scarce,  and  this  dreadful  resource 
was  resorted  to.  Before  paper  money  was  introduced  (at  this  time)  into  Eng- 
land, the  revenue  raised  by  taxes  yearly  from  the  nation  was  about  11  millions  of 
dollars — now  it  is  250  millions !  /  Cobbett  told  the  truth  when  he  declared  that 
"  the  working  classes  of  England  are  indebted  to  the  paper  money  system  for  the 
principal  portion  of  the  miseries  they  presently  suffer," — and  tnesame  remark 
might  be  made  in  the  United  States.  The  BanK<>f  England  was  a  scheme  of  the 
Whigs,  and  its  capital  was  lent  to  King  William's  Government  before  it  went  into 
operation,  in  thosame  way  as  the  first  SOA.OOO  dollars  paid  into  the  Bank  of  the 
United  States  was  lent  to  James  Madison's  Government.  In  a  few  years  (see 
Cheves's  statement)  the  Bank  of  the  United  States  was  within  a  few  thousand 
dollars  of  bankruptcy.  So  of  the  Bank  of  England ;  its  notes  were  worth  twen- 
ty dollars  in  the  hundred  less  than  silver  before  it  was  five  years  in  operation,  and 
the  government  due  bills  at  40  per  cent,  discount,  when  they  were  funded,  for 
posterity  to  pay,  at  8  per  cent,  interest,  equal  to  about  13  per  cent,  on  gold  and  sil- 
ver. The  Bank  of  England  aided  that  crazy  tyrant  George  111.  materially  in  hi»  . 
attempt  to  make  slaves  of  the  Americans  in  the  war  of '76,  and  has  been  the  main

I  sion,  more  moral  and  political  evils,  than  any  other  measure  parliatnent  had 
;  ever  sanctioned."     In  this  opinion,  Mr.  Goulborn,  then  Chanuelloi  of  tho  Ez«

'  departing  from  a  specie  standard ! 

1  JAN.  ;J.  1777.  Battle  of  Princetown.— 1838.  A  Lockpnrt,  IJ.  Y.,  Orand  Jury,  in- 
I  diet  .Sir  Allan  N  Macnab.  and  his  (•(jinpanions.  for  the  Sclilossor  iiiurdcr,  viz: — Sir 
I  Allan  Napier  Macnab,  Speaker  of  the  House  of  Assembly — John  MoHier.  foniierly

^  ward  Zealand — George  (l)y  mistake  called)  James  Chalmers,  merchant,  Trafalgar — 
Edgeworth  Usiier  (since  shot  I  believe) — Angus  McLeod — Jared  F.  Jurvis  (an  error 
;  in  tne  Xtian  name) — RoUdnd  McDonald,  tory  lawyer,  St.  Catharines — John  B.  War- 
ren— William  Warren — Peter  Kigley,  ikc. — Finlayson  of  Cobour^,  Capt.  J.  Arnold, 
and  Hon.  John  Elmsley  were  in  the  boats.  At  a  large  public  rneetmg  in  Lockporl,  it 
was  resolved,  that — If  eighty  armed  men,  (waiting  tlie  signals  of  spies  employed  for 
the  purpose  of  giving  information  where  their  victims  were  sleeping|  attacking  tliirty 
men  unarmed,  in  their  sleep,  and  massacring  them  indiscriminately,  disregarding  their 
cries  for  mercy,  is  a  "gallant  affair,"  Macnab's  assassins  are  entitled  to  the  name  of 
"heroes."  The  conduct  of  the  petty  tyrants  of  Upper  Canada  towards  American  ci- 
tizens, their  t'oul  abuse  of  our  officers,  and  their  dec  led  abhorrence  of  our  Republican 
form  of  Government,  is  no  more  than  whatmi^hibe  expected  from  those  who  by  their 
arbitrary  conduct  have  driven  their  own  subjects  to  rebellion;  have  boniahed  their 
most  able  and  upright  statesmen,  and  after  having  declared  martial  law,  are  gratifying 
tlieir  cruel  and  vindictive  feelings  by  incarcerating  and  starving  all  who  dare  to  mur- 
mur at  tlieir  lawless  acts  of  oppression. 

It  is  tlie  RoUand  McDonell  indicted  at  Lockport,  of  whom  Mr.  Parker  speaks  in 
his  Journal,  thus : — "  We  touched  at  Lancaster,  and  arrived  at  the  Coteaa  do  Lac 
just  before  dark.  We  met  many  on  the  wharf  who  knew  me,  and  among  other  per-  • 
sons,  R.  McD.,  of  St.  Catharines,  who  mentioned  the  defeat  of  the  Canadians  and 
the  burning  of  their  villages,  saying  "that  to  destroy  the  crows,  the  only  way  was  to 
extenninate  the  young  ones  and  tlieir  nesta."  Altliough  they  forced  us  to  remain  on 
deck  in  the  rain  and  cold,  we  got  some  boiled  potatoes  and  crackers  of  the  steward. 
The  pilot  (a  Frenchman)  in  speaking  of  the  burning  of  the  villages  and  the  destruc- 
tion of  families  and  property,  cried  like  a  child.  In  reciting  the  tale  of  wo,  how  wo- 
men and  children  had  to  fly  before  their  persecutors,  he  said  "  what  can  the  poor 
Canadians  do— no  pork,  no  bread,  no  house,  no  homo  !"  1838 — Pelsr  Malcolm,  yeo- 
man, confined  9  months,  charged  with  rebellion,  found  guilty. — 1839.  Seven  Cans. 
dians  condemned  to  be  strangled  at  Montreal,  after  a  mock  trial  by  the  English 
standing  guillotine  court. 

EDUCATION.— The  great  bankers,  merchants,  and  monopolists  wish  to  see 
their  sons  filling  all  the  high  and  honorable  poSts  in  the  Republic,  hence  we  per- 
ceive, that  whatever  party  may  be  in  power,  there  is  a  great  deal  of  talk  about  aid- 
^  ing  and  extending  general  education  and  common  schools;  but  very  little  done. 
j*  If  governors  and  senators  could  do  it  all  by  speeches,  wc  would  have  plenty  of 
•;  them  ;  but  there  they  stop.    Our  monopoly  made  gentry  educate  their  own  sons 
in  a  superior  manner,  out  of  the  wealth  their  grinding  despotism  acquires  out  of 
the  folly  of  the  many — tliis  they  do  with  a  view  of  having  them  exclusively  fit  lor 
first  rate  stations.    Hitherto  the  democratic  system  has  counteracted  the  designs 
of  this  spirit  of  monopoly,  but  the  people  should  beware.     Education  to  all  and 
Equal  Rights,  stantl  and  fall  together.    No  man  can  perceive  at  one  view  the  evils

which  has  for  its  object  the  enriching  of  afuw  at  the  i-xpcnseof  a  whole  people. 

Abb  Wc  Opposed  to  Banks?— By  no  means.  They  nro  very  nnpfiil  in  their

of  society.  Tliisis  the  wny  they  do  business  among  the  ihirty-nix  millions  ot 
Frenchmen,  where  the  Bankn  in  Paris  alone,  hold  noio  100  millions  in  specie,

verdict  of  his  militia  divan  to  hang  the  gallant  Von  Schouftz,  the  leader  of  the  brave

a  trial  by  law.  A  dozen  of  the  militia  officers  opposed  to  Canadian  freedom  asiiem-

at  Schlosser. 

JAN.  6.     1838.  John  Haling,  U.  C,  arrested  for  treason,  and  banished  to  the  U.  S. 

Wkat  it  meant  by  Constitutional  Treasury,  Independent  Treasury  and  Sub' 
Trca-^jtry?— The  meaning  of  the  term  as  used  by  the  Government,  is  Trcasii- 
ries,  like  the  Mint,  where  the  money  of  the  people,  raiswi  from  them  for  the  public 
uses  by  law  would  be  kept  in  vaults  and  iron  chests,  in  the  care  of  officers  ap- 
pointed by  the  President,  with  consent  of  the  Senate  of  the  U.  S.,(both  President 
and  Senate  being  chosen  by  the  people  to  watch  their  treasure) ;  snid  officers  to 

five  ample  security  for  its  safely,  and  be  liable  to  fine  and  two  years  in  States 
rison,  if  they  embezzled  or  used  a  dollar  of  it,  unlef's  by  authority  of  a  law  of 
Congress,  which  is  the  expressed  will  of  the  people.  Under  a  Constitutional  Trea- 
sury system  the  Banks  would  have  no  interest  in  bribing  editors  to  defend  and 
congressmen  to  vote  new  and  heavy  taxes  and  loans  to  burthen  the  people,  bo- 
cause  the  Banks  would  no  longer  obtain  the  money  so  raised  to  speculate  with. — 
Under  the  National  Bank  system  the  Bank  gave  no  security  for  the  safe  keeping 
of  the  public  treasure  but  lent  it  to  whomsever  the  Directors  pleased,  made  inter- 
est on  it  out  of  the  people  whose  it  was,  and  when  the  Government  and  Congress 
wanted  more  of  their  own  money  than  the  Bank  chose  to  let  thetn  have,  the 
Bank  would  not  even  allow  the  Government  Directors  to  investigate  its  affairs.

E.soLisH  GovEnN.MENT  IN  Inpia. — The  erindingoppressionsof  that  great  mo- 
nopoly, the  English  East  India  Company  [the  English  Aristocratic  Government 
in  one  of  its  most  cruel  and  unfeeling  forms,  J  have  reduced  the  miserable  inhabit- 
ants to  ihe  scantiest  pittance.  Millions  uf  them  m  former  periods  have  died  of 
starvation  in  the  streets  and  fields,  so  that  at  limes  the  atmosphere  was  poisoned 
with  the  noxious  effluvia  of  unburied  human  carcasses.  The  climate  is  so  mild 
that  very  little  clothing  is  indispensiblo;  and  rice,  the  food  of  the  wretched  labor- 
er, is  easily  cultivated,  and  therefore  cheap.  And  the  wages  of  labor  is  depressed 
to  2id.  a  day. —  Young^s  Report  on  Finance,  1839.

Pathetic  Petition  of  an  Indian  Lady.— The  following  petition  was  published 
many  years  ago  in  England.  It  is  one  of  the  most  hcart-meltingappeals  weever 
read,  and  wotild  have  softened  the  heart  of  any  man  but  Warren  Hastings.  The 
catastrophe  was  rendered  more  shocking,  from  the  fact,  that  the  only  crime  of 
the  husband  was  patriotic  hostility  to  the  enemies  and  despoilers  of  his  native 
country.  A  petition  not  less  affecting,  was  delivered  by  the  wife  of  the  unfortu- 
nate Lount,  to  Sir  George  Arthur,  imploring  him  to  spare  her  husband,  but  with 
as  little  effect  on  that  criiel  tyrant,  who  was  urged  to  dip  his  hands  in  innocent 
blood  by  Chief  Justice  Robinson,  C.  A.  Hagcrman,  and  his  Executive  Council, 
Allan,  Elmsley,  Baldwin,  Sullivan,  and  Draper. 

A  literal  translation  of  the  petition  presented  to  the  governor-general,  Hastincs, 

by  the  wife  of  Almas  Aii  Cawn,  oneof  the  native  princes  of  India,  in  behalf  ol  her 

husband,  who  was  seized  and  put  to  death  for  political  purposes : 

"  To  the  high  and  mighty  servant  of  the  most  power ful  Prince  George,  King  of 

England,  the  lowly  and  humble  slave  of  misery,  comes  praying  for  mercy 

to  the  father  of  her  children, 

"Most  "mighty  Sire,— may  the  blessings  of  thy  God  wait  on  thee:  may  the 
gates  of  plenty,  honor  and  happiness  be  ever  open  to  thee  and  thine :  may  no  sor- 
rows distress  thy  days,  may  no  grief  disturb  thy  nights;  may  the  pillow  of  peace

country  ninst  be  kept  somewhere.  If  the  people aro  capable  of  sclf-ijovernment, 
they  a  ■  as  capable  of  appointing  diacrect  persons  to  guard  iho  chest  with  the 
public  iicasurc  as  a  (miscalled)  National  Bank,  th«  majority  of  the  real  Stockhold- 
ers of  which  would  bo  forcisjn  persons,  speculating  persons,  gamblers  in  stocks  and 
fmblic  lands,  nnd  persons  in  trade,  who  would,  as  hitherto,  endeavor  to  monopo- 
i»e  or  regulate  the  staples  of  the  country,  cotton,  grain,  Ac,  to  their  own  advan- 
tage; and,  holding  the  purse,  detormino  whether  it  would  suit  their  private  inter- 
est best  to  give  to  Congress  the  means  of  defending  the  nation,  or  use  those  meona 
to  corrupt  its  ablest  orators.  If  thepeoplo's  money  is  placed  in  a  National  Hank, 
it  will  not  be  there  when  wanted ;  but  if  it  be  deposited  in  a  well  regulated  Con- 
stitutional Treasury,  the  funds  necessary  for  the  public  defence  will  be  at  the 
oommand  of  the  n.'ition,  to  enable  it  viu;orou»ly  to  prosecute  any  FOREIGN 
WAR  into  which  it  may  be  forced  for  the  maintenance  of  the  national  honor, 
rights  and  welfare.  At  the  close  of  the  last  war,  the  United  States  Government 
was  greatly  distressed  in  its  finances,  owing  to  the  uncertainty  caused  by  a  mass 
of  irredeomalile  paper  money  with  which  the  Banks  had  flooded  the  U.  S,  To 
relieve  itself  it  re-chartered  the  U.  S.  Bank,  a  combination  of  gamblers  and  spe- 
culators. The  Bank  was  to  go  into  operation  on  the  first  day  of  January,  1817. 
To  such  a  pitch  had  these  embarrassments  reached,  that  the  Government  with 
twenty  millions  o( paper  dollars  in  the  Treasury,  was  obliged  to  borrow,  in  ad- 
vance of  the  public  operations  of  the  Bank,  half  a  million  of  the  specie  paid  towards 
the  first  instalment,  m  order  to  avoid  tho  forfeiture  of  the  public  faith,  by  providing 
for  the  dividends  due  on  that  day  in  Boston  on  the  public  debt,  as  none  of  the 
public  p(7pcr  money  could  effect  payments  in  that  city.

as  the  majority  of  the  poor  are  impoverished.  His  h  t  speech  is  likely  to  prore  true, 
"I  am  about  to  leave  you,"  said  he,  "and  when  I  am  gone,  and  my  warnings  shall  be 
no  longer  heard  or  regarded,  the  craft  and  avarice  of  the  white  man  will  prevail.  Ma- 
ny winters  have  I  breasted  the  storm,  but  I  am  an  aged  tree,  and  can  stand  no  longer. 
My  leaves  are  fallen,  niv  branches  are  withered,  and  I  am  shaken  by  every  breeze. 
Soon  my  aged  trunk  will  be  prostrate,  and  the  foot  of  the  exulting  foe  of  the  Indian 
may  be  placed  upon  it  in  safety ;  for  I  leave  none  who  will  be  able  to  avenge  such  an 
indignity.  Think  not  I  mourn  for  myself.  I  go  to  join  the  spirits  of  my  futlicrs,  where ; 
age  cannot  come;  but  my  heart  fails  when  I  tliink  of  my  people,  who  are  soon  to  be  i 
scattered  and  forgotten." 

JAN.  21.  1793,  Louis  16th,  King  of  France  beheaded.  (His  nobility  and  titled 
clergy  slain,  banished,  deprived  of  their  lands,  and  of  the  power  they  had  abused,  be- 
cause they  delighted  in  such  monopolies  as  the  U.  S.  Bank,  special  corporations, 
church  and  state  united,  and  in  squandering  tlie  revenues,  having  no  sympathy  with 
the  people.) 

JAN.  22.  1788.  Lord  Byron,  the  far-famed  republican  and  poet,  bom  in  England. 
Died  in  Greece,  1824,  endeavoring  to  give  liberty  to  that  country. — 15*51,  Lord  Chan- 
cellor Bacon  born.— 1813,  Second  battle  of  River  Raisin. — 1689,  The  Prince  of 
Orange's  Convention  Parliament  meets. — 1838,  Colonel  Worth  and  a  party  of  U.  S. 
troops  land  at  Dunkirk  and  disarm  300  patriots. 

JAN.  23.  1838,  Lord  Brougham  persuades  the  House  of  Lords  to  stop  a  bill  to 
introduce  the  principle  of  limited  partnerships,  registration  of  partners,  and  investing 
a  great  manv  small  sums  in  trade,  to  be  under  the  management  of  a  few  whom  the 
others  could  not  check.    He  said  it  was  unfavorable  to  honesty,  and  he  was  right. 

JAN.  24.  1749,  The  celebrated  English  statesman  and  orator,  Charles  James 
Fox,  born. 

JAN.  25.  1759,  Robert  Burns,  the  poet  of  nature,  bom  in  Ayrshire,  Scotland,  end 
remained  through  life  a  true  democrat  and  a  friend  to  equal  rights :  at  one  time  he  in- 
tended to  have  settled  in  the  United  States. 

Wkat  consequences  would  ensue  to  the  finances  of  these  States,  were  this  coun- 
try suddenly  forced  into  a  war  with  England,  before  a  lawis  enacted  to  give  the 
people's  elected  servants  the  whole  control  of  the  public  revenue  ? — Every  Bank- 
ing concern  in  the  Union  would  suspend  the  pavment  of  its  debts  in  money  the 
moment  war  was  declared.  The  country  would  be  flooded  with  paper  promises 
which  could  be  turned  into  silver  at  a  discount  of  5, 10,  15,  25,  30,  or  40  dollars  in 
the  hundred,  and  the  rt.il  value  of  auch  promises  (or  Bank  Notes)  would  be  un- 
known. Contractors  would  be  unable  to  decide  what  proposals  to  make  to  go- 
vernment, for  they  would  not  know  what  paper  they  might  be  paid  in.  In  one 
port  the  duties  would  be  paid  in  Bank  Notes,  30  per  cent,  below  par;  in  another 
port  at  5,  thus  taxing  importers  unequally.  If  Government  received  for  taxes  the 
Notes  of  pet  Banks,  or  of  all  Banks,  the  public  would  be  deceived.  If  it  refused  to 
do  so,  every  press  the  Bank  owners  could  bribe,  subsidize,  or  influence,  would 
slander  the  government,  and  in  ndditition  to  war  abroad,  there  would  be  a  still 
more  rapacious  enemy  to  combat  at  home.  In  case  of  a  war  the  revenue  from 
imported  goods  would  decrease  three-fold,  and  the  expense  of  the  nation  increase 
perhaps  ten-fold.  Government  would  have  to  borrow.  The  Bankers  would  lend 
It  broken  bank  notes  and  take  its  bonds  to  pay  back  principal  and  interest  in  silver 
and  gold;  these  bonds  they  would  sell  to  foreigners,  who  would  afterwards  carry 
off  the  specie,  which  is  the  life's  blood  of  a  country.  These  evils  a  Constitutional 
Treasury  would  prevent,  by  securing  the  public  against  Bank  intrigue,  and  equal- 
izing all  payments  in  one  known  and  unalterable  currency. 

JAN.  26.  1827.  A  corrupt  .iouse  of  Assembly,  U.  C.  pass  a  bill  to  declare  all  set- 
tlers from  the  United  States  Aliens,  incapable  of  holding  land  or  exercising  civil 
rights  until  they  would  solemnly  abjure  all  allegiance  to.  and  all  right,  title  and  inter- 
est in  their  native  land,  in  which  case  they  were  allowed  to  hold  land  and  be  subjects, 
in  part,  in  U.  C.  only.  Thi..  oath  of  abjuration  to  be  recorded.  A  committee  of  four 
formed,  with  W.  L.  Mackenzie  as  their  secretary,  to  defeat  this  bill,  who  send  R.  Ran- 
dal to  London. — 1839,  Pierre  Maurice  Lavoie  and  eight  other  French  Canadians 
stood  victims  to  English  barbarity,  at  the  new  Court  House,  Montreal,  and  were  sen- 
tenced to  be  hung  like  criminals  for  drawing  their  swords  like  freemen.

SLAVERY  IN  THE  U.  S.— How  is  la  to  be  got  rid  of?  When  slavery  was 
about  to  be  abolished  in  the  north,  many  persons  went  and  sold  their  slaves  to 
planters  in  the  south.  These  persons  are  ready  to  abolish  slavery.  How  would 
they  do  it  ?    By  forcing  the  southern  etates  to  emancipate  their  slaves?    That

Vhen  slavery  was 
d  their  slaves  to 
ry.  How  would 
ir  slaves?    That 


would  bfl  the  signal  for  a  dissolution  of  this  hapuy  union,  an  event  which  Endand 
earnestly  seeks  to  bring  about,  and  which  would  be  fraught  with  misery  and  woe 
to  mankind.    Does  the  abolitionist  believe  that  by  filling  the  minds  of  the  blacks 
with  sentiments  of  hatred  and  revenge  against  their  masters,  and  putting  the  lat- 
ter in  continual  fear  of  asoassination,  this  great  good  is  to  be  brougnt  about  7    No 
sincere  follower  of  Christ  will  say  so.    England  has  given  more  personal  liberty 
to  her  West  India  slaves  of  late.    Why  has  she  done  this7    is  her  motive  benev- 
olent'?   Had  it  been  so  she  would  have  refused  to  deliver  over  the  Lower  Cana- 
dians, whom  she  acknowledges  to  be  the  most  peaceful,  moral,  and  kindly  pea- 
santry in  the  world,  to  slavery,  murder,  rapine,  robbery,  burning,  bonishmcnt, 
and  utter  destitution.     They  were  free.     She  forced  them  into  slavery  because 
they  earnestly  prayed  for  justice !— for  leave  to  educate  their  children  !!    To  the 
millions  in  Britain  and  Ireland,  too,  the  cruelty  of  ihc  English  Government  is  pro  - 
verbial — so  too  in  India.    A  number  are  emancipated  in  the  West  Indies,  becauss 
it  is  hoped  thereby  to  weaken  and  divide  the  southern  States,  and  break  up  the 
first  federal  union  of  popular  sovereignties  in  America.    What  then  would  you  pro- 
pose 7    Let  these  sincere  philanthropists  who  desire  to  better  the  condition  of  the 
slave,  end  remove  this  great  blot  from  the  escutcheon  of  America  consult  the  Sa- 
viour's golden  rule,  and  do  unto  the  southern  planters  as  they  would  wish  to  be 
done  by.  were  they  situated  as  their  southern  brethren  now  are.    Obtain  the  con- 
sent of  the  slaves  states  to  the  followmg  proposition:  —That  a  law  be  passed  in 
Congress  authorizing  the  purchase  of  the  freedom  of  the  whole  colored  race,  upon 
any  fair  principle  of  valuation ;  let  the  nation  give  its  bonds  to  the  several  slave- 
owners for  the  amount;  and  let  the  interest,  and  gradually  the  principal,  be  paid, 
by  a  direct  or  other  tax,  fairly  and  equally  laid  on  the  whole  union,  of  all  races  and 
colors.    Le:  slaves  be  admitted  to  the  elective  franchise,  according  as  the  several 
states  may  decide,  but  only  when  they  can  read  and  write,  and  are  shewn  to  be 
qualified  to  perform  the  duties  of  freemen.    Any  attempt  to  remove  slavery,  ex- 
clusively at  the  expense  of  the  slave-owners,  will  be  likely  to  cause  difficulties  yet 
mi-re  formidable  than  even  slavery  itself.     Slavery  is  recognized  by  the  federal 
constitution,  and  slave-owners  give  hundreds  of  thousands  of  votes  for  federal  of 
ficers  because  they  ere  slave  owners.    But  let  the  whole  union  put  its  shoulder  to 
the  wheel  and  slavery  will  soon  cease  to  exist.    Monarchists  and  all  enemies  of 
"he  honest  democratic  principle  will  cry  out  against  slavery  in  the  Stales,  hut  this 
or  any  other  peaceful  and  equitable  mode  of  getting  rid  of  it,  in  a  brothei.y  way, 
they  will  also  object  to,  beoiusa  they  love  tyranny.    TheUnited  States  Congress 
And  federal  courts,  and  the  several  state  courts  and  legislatures  have  continually 
sanctioned  the  purchase  and  sale  of  slaves,  insuchstatesas  chose  to  deal  in  slaves, 
from  the  4th  of  July,  1776,  till  now.    If  then  they  have  madeit  lawful  to  buyand 
sell  and  hold  a  property  in  man,  the  true  remedy  is,  for  the  whole  public  to' pur- 
chase the  freedom  of  the  whole  of  the  slaves,  set  them  free,  and  let  all  classes  bear 
alike  their  fair  share  of  the  burthen.    England,  in  the  case  of  Jamaica,  has  paid 
for  the  slaves,  and  surely  those  quakers,  independents,  presbyterians,  baptists,  Ac. 
who  are  foremost  in  crying  out  against  the  sin  of  slavery,  should  be  the  first  to  do 
by  the  southerns  as  they  would  desire  to  be  done  by.    When  it  was  proposed  by 
Mr.  Van  Buren  and  others,  to  permit  Missouri  to  come  into  the  Uuion,  only  on 
the  principle  of  abolishing  slavery.  Clay  and  Harrison  voted  it  down— Clay  gave 
a  casting  voice  against  the  free  principle.     The  majority  of  the  people  of  the 
Union  went  with  Clay  and  Harrison  against  Van  Buren.    Having  authoiizcd  the 
citizens  of  Missouri  to  buy,  sell,  hold  and  convey  slaves,  the  only  honorable  pro- 
position the  nation  can  make  to  Missouri  for  abolishing  slavery  is,  that  all  men 
join  as  one  and  buy  the  bondsmen  and  bondswomen,  set  them  free,  and  then  place 
slavery  beyond  the  pale  of  the  constitution  in  all  time  to  come.    The  whole  works 
of  "internal  improvement"  hitherto  cried  'ip,  are  but  as  a  drop  iu  the  bucket  when 
compared  with  this.    It  would  take  off  many  taxes,  and  cost  the  nation  scarcely 
SI  each  person  yearly,  and  if  Canada  come  into  the  Uuion  let  her  people  bear  their 
sh^re  of  the  impost  for  so  benevolent  a  purpose.    Public  Debt  and  Negro  Slavery 
are  evils,  as  England  and  the  United  States  have  shown.     You  have  two  aJternatives, 
and,    ve  think,  only  two,  5;;;^Debt  or  l^'Slavery.

BED. — Query.    Hoto  do  such  hanks  as  this  continue  to  tax  the  ignorantl 
foolish  people  who  incorporate  them  ? — First,  by  exacting  6  or  7  per  cent,  ol 
tax  fortlie  use  of  their  miserable  notes  orshinplastcrs,  which  cost  them  notli.l 
ing — Secondly,  by  suspending  specie  payments,  collecting  all  the  silver  ancl 
gold  in  the  country  for  their  notes,  and  in  payments  and  dcposites,  and  thcrJ 
selling  it  to  those  who  must  mukc  payments  abroad — Thirdly,  by  the  vastf 
sums  paid  to  their  favorite  lawyers  as  law  costs  on  their  short  loans — FourllJ 
ly,  by  the  power  they  obtain  to  make  their  paper  money  scarce  or  ])lcntiful| 
when  they  please — Fifthly,  by  their  using  the  monopoly  power  to  bend  tliej 
press,  the  bar,  the  pulpit,  the  bunch  and  the  legislature  to  corrupt  purposcsl 
and  thus  to  destroy  popular  rights — Sixthly,  by  their  frequent  bankruptcies/ 
80  ruinous  to  those  who  having  deposited  :9pocie  with  them  receive  back  shiii.l 
plasters  which  a  broker  pays  cash  for  at  a  loss  of — say  $15  in  the  $100.   Inj 
U.  C.  now,  the  banks  pay  no  specie  for  their  notes.     The  effect  is  this.     Thel 
government  get  gold  and  silver  from  England  to  pay"  the  soldiers — this  moT 
ney  Sir  George  Arthur  &  Co.  exchange  at  the  Banks  for  their  bankrupt  pro! 
mises,  and  with  these  the  troops  are  paid.     The  bank  notes  at  length   cornel 
into  the  hands  of  merchants,  farmers  and  tradc»inen  ;  and  as  the  most  of  itl 
has  to  be  paid  out  to  Europe  and  these  States,  where  sucli  notes  are  in  had! 
repute,  the  exporters  carry  it  totlie  banks  who  buy  their  own  notes  at  90  toj 
96  dollars  in  specie  for  the  100  dollars  in  paper,  althou<jh  perhaps  tiicy  receiv. 
ed  the  silver  so  paid  over,  dollar  for  dollar,  in  silver  tlie  day  before  from  Ar. 
thur.     Who  loses  by  this?     The  people.     The  price  of  every  thing  is  raised  j 
4  to  10  per  cent,  higlierthan  it  would  be  if  the  silver  were  paid  to  the  troopsl 
at  once  instead  of  being  exchanged  with  these  rogues  of  bankers.     Bat  doiibt.l 
less  Sir  George  is  paid  his  share  of  the  plunder,  and  so  it  is  wherever  nuisan.I 
ces  are  incorporated  by  fools  to  multiply  genteel  knaves  and  pickpockets. 

JAN.  29.  1833,  The  British  Parliament,  having  given  a  preponderance  oil 
power  to  corrupt  the  whig  section  of  the  aristocracy,  by  a  pretended  bill  of  re- 1

of  Congress  invite  to  these  shores. — 1838,  Peter  Grant  sent  to  Toionto  jail  oi;  a  j 
charge  of  treason,  30th  Dec.  died  this  day,  one  of  the  many  victims  to  their  bar- 
barity.— 1836,  Sir  Francis  Head  lays  before  the  U.  C.  Legislature  his  instruc- 
tions from  Lord  Glenelgand  the  English  Cabinet,  for  the  government  of  U.  C, 
in  reply  to  the  report  ot  the  Committee  on  Grievances,  onlering  many  reforms 
to  be  made,  and  showing  that  Lord  Gosford  was  mocking  the  people  of  Lower 
Canada,  holding  out  prosp^-cts  of  reforms  which  the  English  power  never  inten- 
ded to  carry  into  effect.  Head,  it  appears,  had  private  orders  to  grant  no  re- 
-form whatever;  accordingly  he  insulted  the  reformers,  corrupted  the  legislature, 
and  Sir  George  Arthur  was  told  by  Lord  Glenelgto  go  aiid  gull  the  people  in 
like  manner,  which  he  has  done.  O,  treacherous  England!!!— 1^49,  Charles 
1st,  a  treacherous  prince,  the  enemy  of  popular  rights,  civil  and  religious,  after 
bemg  tried  by  a  high  court  of  the  republic  of  England,  and  found  guilty  of  crimes 
similar  to  those  which  George  3d  successfully  practised  in  England,  and  Sir  F. 
B.  Head  in  U.  C,  was  condemned  as  a  traitor  to  his  people,  and  this  day  be- 
headed in  London.— 1C6I,  Rollin,  the  Historian,  born.— 1689,  The  Lords,  in  the

1839,  This  day  waH  introduced  into  the  U.  S.    Senate,  by    'Ion.  Sil 
Wright,  a  bill  for  an  INDEPENDENT  TREASURY,  diffbrinir  only  inn 
details  from  that  which  the  U.  uf  R.  threw  out  in  June.    This  bill  \.  assed  tl 
Senate. — §  1,  provides  llial  the  collectors  of  the  customs  at  Boston,  N.  Yor! 
Philadelphia,  New  OrlcanR,  Charleston  and  Baltimore  shall  return  very  clei 
and  detailed  accounts  to  four  different  officers  of  government  every  week.- 
§  2.  All  receipts  for  money  paid  are  to  bo  registered  by  the  naval  officer  ai 
t»ie  port  of  entry. — §3.  The  Register  of  the  Treasury  is  to  give  due  notice  o 
warrants  granted  by  him.- -^4.  All  other  collectors  than  the  above  four  ar' 
to  make  four  monthly  returns  of  their  transactions. — ^7.  Receivers  of  lam 
revenue  are  to  make  foiir  weekly  statements  in  detail  to  certain  offices 
government.— §  8.  Registers  of  the  land  office  are  to  send  weekly  eheci 
Gtatemonts.  — ^9.  Clerks  of  the  U.  S.  District  Courts  are  to  forward  details 
monthly  returns  of  cash  in  their  hands  for  government.     10.  Other  rcvenu'j 
officers  are  to  make  four  monthly  returns,  the  Post  Office  Department  excepi 
ted.     12.  Tiie  officers  of  State  are  to  examine  said  returns  and  report  month 
ly.     14.  Balances  at  each  quarter's  end  unpaid,  are  to  be  reported  for  prose 
cution.     15.  The  treasury  accounting  officers  must  examine  and  settle  ac 
counts  within  six  weeks  after  they  receive  them.     16.  Naval  oiUcura  to  ac 
as  checks  on  the  Collectors.     17.  The  Secretary  of  the  Treasury  is  to  cam 
the  books  and  papers  of  certain  receivers  of  public  money  to  be  cxamin 
carefully  once  a  year  or  ofTtener,  and  when  Congress  shall  direct,  also  tli 
bonds,  and  money  on  hand.     18.  The  Secretary  of  the  Treasury,  with  thi 
President's  approbation,  may  take  additional  security  from  revenue  officers] 
and  cause  them  to  renew,  strengthen  or  increase  their  sureties  at  his  discn 
tion.     §  19,  is  essentially  the  same  as  the  20th  or  last  §  of  the  bill  throwr^ 
out  in  the  H.  of  R.,  about  keeping  a  record  of  the  kind  of  money  or  currenc] 
received  by  each  collector,  with  penalties  and  so  forth.     ^  20.  Improper  fci 
or  gratuities  not  to  be  accepted  for  performance  of  services,  under  penalty  u| 
fine  and   imprisonment.    21  to  26   consists  of  directions  about  modes 
keeping  books,  per  centages,  appointment  of  clerks,  &.c. 

In  his  message  of  Sept.  5,  '37,  to  Congress,  Mr.  Van  Buren  says,  that  tei 
millions  of  silver  dollars  would  transact  the  whole  of  the  government  bu8i> 
iiess  of  receipts  and  payments,  adding  that  to  retain  baiik  notes  in  the  publii 
treasury,  would  be  to  renew  the  old  system  of  lending  the  revenue  to  tin 
bankers.  But  (be  treasury  bills  we  have  described  as  before  Congress  dc 
not  contemplate  that  gold,  silver  and  government  due  bills  only  shall  be  r& 
oeived  and  paid  out  by  the  rcycnue  officers.  They  leave  to  the  President 
the  pewer  he  now  wields  of  receiving,  paying  and  keeping  on  hand  bank 
notes — they  enable  his  officers,  unless  otherwise  ordered  by  a  treasury  circu. 
lar,  to  favor  one  bank  more  than  another,  by  putting  its  paper  in  circulation 
exchanging  it,  &c. — But  in  case  the  banks  fail,  they  authorize  the  presideni 
to  hold  out  a  boon  to  some  of  the  ablest  banking  institutions,  that  their  notei 
will  be  taken  instead  of  specie  in  case  they  resume  cash  payments.  The 
great  powers  the  bills  confer  on  the  president  and  secretary  of  the  treasury 
these  officers  now  possess,  except  as  to  the  punishments,  securities-  vault: 
and  places  of  deposite.  Government  can  now  take  and  refuse  such  notes  ai 
it  may  think  fit,  or  it  may  refuse  all  notes,  and  if  it  take  any  it  may  deposite 
them  in  banks,  or  take  bank  notes  and  let  the  banks  enjoy  the  interest  while 
the  notes  are  in  the  treasury.  The  improvement  consists  chiefly  in  the  pra 
visions  for  the  safe  keeping  of  the  cash  or  bank  notes,  which,  in  case  of  i 
panic  suspension,  might  enable  the  president  to  insist  on  specie  without 
riuch  risque  of  the  collectors  Swartwouting.  The  main  points,  a  gold  and 
i  Uver  curreneyi  as  in  1789  was  by  law  ordered,  and  a  total  divorce  of  bank

•hould  suggest  itself  the  answer  is,  thnt  indetonities  passed  by  criminnla  for  their  own 
crimes  are  repealed  ip»o  facta  when  honest  men  come  into  power.  The  world  ha» 
been  gulled  too  long  by  the  vulgar  error  that  the  sohlier  murders  his  prisoners  under 
the  sanction  of  a  law  ;  and  there  cannot  be  a  better  time  to  bring  the  question  to  an 
issue.  Alas  for  the  days  of  antique  honor,  when  a  military  leader  would  answer  to 
an  onlcr  to  employ  his  troops  in  murder,  "  Sire,  there  are  here  brave  soldiers,  gal 
lant  gentleujen,  but  t\ot  one  executioner."

1837.  The  Montreal  Official  Gazette  contains  Lord  Gosrord's  proclama. 
tion  that  a  law  to  prevent  unfair  dealing  at  Lower  Canada  Elections,  pas. 
Bed  in  March,  1834,  assented  to  in  the  Kind's  name  by  Lord  Aylmer,  print- 
ed in  the  statute  book,  and  acted  on  in  1835  and  '36,  had  been  ordered  to 
be  blotted  out  and  annulled  by  His  Majesty  (in  1837  ! !)  because  it  made 
against  tiie  British  or  loyal  party.  Of  the  French  Canadians,  Lord  Aylmer, 
tho  British  Governor, 'thus  writes  in  183  i  ;  "  J  cannot  close  ihia  De*' 
patch  toithout performing  what  I  conceive  to  be  an  act  of  justice  ;  and  that 
is  to  express  to  your  Lordship  my  firm  conviction  that  throughout  the  King't 
vast  dominions  His  Majesty  no  where  possesses  subjects  more  loyal  and 
true  ihan  the  veople  of  Lower  Canada.**  People  of  America,  wiiat  has  been 
their  reward  from  that  robber  monarchy  7 — 1&09.  John  Henry,  agent  to 
Gov.  Craig,  for  dividing  the  American  Union,  writes  from  Windsor,  Vt.  "  It 
is  further  ascertained  that  in  case  of  a  war,  the  Governor  of  Vermont  will 
tMe  his  influence  to  preserve  the  state  neutral,  and  resist  with  all  the  force 
he  can  command,  any  attempt  to  make  it  a  party.  I  need  not  add  that  if 
these  resolutions  are  carried  into  effect,  the  State  of  Vermont  may  be  consi. 
dered  an  ally  of  Great  Britain.  1  can  only  say  that,  the  leading  men  of 
the  federal  party  act  in  concert;  and  therefore  infer  that  a  common  senti. 
ment  pervades  the  whole  body  throughout  New  England.** 

¥&D,  15.  1839,  Brigadier  General,  Charles  Hindenlang,  of  the  Canadian 
Army  of  Liberty,  a  native  of  Paris,  in  France,  sentenced  to  death,  after  a 
mock  trial,  by  a  junto  of  English  rufliians,  of  whom  General  Clitherow  was  the 
head,  and  expired  on  t'le  gallows  this  day  at  Montreal.  This  noble  martyr 
fur  liberty  had  done  exactly  what  Gen.  Lnfayelte  did,  left  hi:<  home  to  aHtiist 
the  cause  of  freedom,  and  is  honored  by  mankind  for  so  doing.  Gen.  Hinden- 
lang  lefl  France  to  aid  the  children  ot  France  in  a  foreign  land,  and  a  morin. 
ment  will  yet  be  raised  to  perpetuate  the  events  which  led  to  his  marytrdoro. 
He  was  29  years  of  age,  and  brave  as  a  lion. 

1839.  This  day  was  also  marked  by  the  martyrdom  at  Montreal,  of  Francois 
Nicolas,  Teacher  of  Ste.  Margnerite,  aged  44;  a  young  bnt  very  brave  far. 
mer,  Amable  Daunais,  only  in  his  21st  year;  he  had  risen  but  once  to  rhace 
Victoria's  murderins  bands  from  a  land  which  they  hold  by  the  same  right  as 
the  highwayman  hitjds  the  traveller's  purse  whom  he  has  just  murdered  ;  — 
and  Pierre  Remi  Narbonne,  of  St.  Cyprian,  whose  feelings  at  pnrtmg  with 
his  three  lovely  children  no  person  can  describe — these  three  sntf  red  in  the 
holy  cause  of  civil  and  religious  liberty,  upholding  their  spotless  and  honorable 
Houfle  of  Assembly,  and  following  American  example. 

1839.  With  them,  sulftired  tho  worst  that  cruel  and  baibarous  Eng- 
Idnd  coalii  mflict,  an  ignominious  and  painful  death,  in  the  bloom  of 
youth,  the  brave  Chevalier  DC  LOlllMICR,,  descended  of  an  ancient  and 
honorable  French  family,  and  blessed  with  an  amiable  and  lovely  wife,  and 
three  charming  infant!!,  the  pride  of  his  heart.  He  was  in  hi.4  35th  year,  a  na- 
tary  public  of  Montreal,  greatly  respected  by  all.  When  this  pious  and  af* 
fectionate  man  was  cut  down  from  the  gallows,  a  letter  was  found  in  his  bo- 
som, close  to  his  heart,  addressed  to  his  poor  distressed  Harriet,  of  which  we 
give  an  extract : — "On  this  very  day  blood-thirsty  assassins  are  tearing  me 
from  your  arms;  they  can  never  efface  my  remembrance  from  your  he.irt ;  of 
that  i  am  well  convinced.  They  take  away  from  you  your  support  &,  protector 
and  the  father  of  your  dear  unfortunate  children.  Providence,  together  with 
the  friends  of  my  country,  shall  provide  for  them.  They  have  not  even  given 
me  time  to  see  my  two  dear  little  girls,  so  that  I  could  press  them  to  my  paler-

maul  live  fur  the  take  of  your  unfortanate  children,  yvW  m\\  be  greatly  in 
nAed  of  the  mtiternal  care  of  a  tender  anil  devoted  mother.  They  shall  know 
no  more  my  caresses  and  mv  cares  for  them.  I  assure  yoa,  my  dear  Harriet, 
that  if  from  the  eiherial  world,  it  were  permitted  to  me  still  to  aid  and  protect 
you,  I  should  bind  up  your  broken  heurt.  My  dear  little  children  will  be  de- 
prived uf  my  caresses  but  they  will  be  doubly  caressed  by  yoa,  no  that  they 
may  not  feel  the  deep  loss  tliey  shall  have  to  mourn  over.  I  shall  see  yoa  na 
more  in  this  world.     O  what  a  thought !  !  !     But  you,  my  dear  Harriet,  you 

nmy  see  me  once  more  and  for  the  last  lime  ;  then  I  shall  be cold ina- 

ni(n<ile disfijfured dead.     I  finish,  my   dear  Harriet,   by 

otfering  to  the  eternal  God,  the  most  sincere  prayers  for  yoor  comfort  and  hap- 
piness, and  that  of  my  dear  little  chi'dren.  Yesterday  Evening  you  received 
my  last  embraces,  and  my  lust  verbal  adieu ;  nevertheless,  from  my  cold, 
damp  and  lonely  cell,  with  all  the  pr-parutions  uf  death  before  me,  I  give  yoa 
my  last,  last  farewell." 

"  We  have  been  thus  fur  anfortanate.  Death  has  cat  oiT  several  of  my 
brother  laborers  ;  many  of  them  ar^^  in  chains,  and  a  stillgreater  naniber  in  ex- 
ile, their  prop«r!iea  destroyed,  and  their  families  abandoned  without  succor,  to 
all  the  rigors  of  a  C<inadi-in  winter.  The  wounds  of  my  bleeding  country 
shall  be  healed.  After  the  disasters  of  anarchy  and  a  bloody  revolution,  the 
pe;iceful  Canadian  will  behold  on  the  borders  of  the  St.  Lawrence,  the  revival 
of  liberty  and  hippiness.  Every  thing  tends  to  that  end,  even  the  executions 
on  the  scaflfjid  ;  the  blood  and  the  tears  shed  on  the  a't  ir  of  liberty  this  day, 
will  moifiien  the  roots  ofthe  tree  upon  which  will  be  unfurled  the  flag  embla- 
zoned with  the  two  stars  of  Canada." 

FEB.  15.  1691,  Another  SchlosserUi  English  Oovemment  in  Scotland, — 
Massacre  of  Glencoe. — Altliough  William  of  Orange  was  crowned  King  of  England, 
the  Scottish  Highlanders,  like  the  Irish,  remained  faithful  to  their  oatlis  to  the  exiled 
monarch.  William  sent  money  to  bribe  tliem,  but  failed.  Smollett,  in  his  History. 
tells  us  that  King  William  had  by  proclamation  oftercd  an  indemnity  to  all  those  who 
had  been  in  arms  against  him,  provided  they  would  submit,  and  take  the  oaths ;  wi>. 
a  denunciation  of  milifary  execution  against  those  who  should  hold  out  after  thee'-j 
of  December.  Macdonald  took  the  oaths,  and  so  did  ina  adherents,  and  theyretu'.'n 
ed  to  Glencoe  valley,  secure  of  British  protection.  They  got  it  too,  as  all  will  who 
trust  in  the  merciless  wretches  who  dispense  it.  King  William  hated  tliese  brava 
men,  and  signed  in  London  a  warrant  for  their  murder,  witlioui  trial.  Colborne  fash- 
ion in  Canada,  Wellington  fashion  in  India.  This  barbarous  mandate,  sealed  and 
i<igned  with  the  royal  hand  ''  was  transmitted  to  tlie  Master  of  Stair,  Secretary  for 
Scotland,  this  minister  ffcnt  particular  directions  to  Livingstone,  who  commanded  the 
troops  in  that  kingdom,  to  put  the  inhabitants  of  Glencoe  to  the  sword,  charging  him 
to  lake  no  prisoners,  that  the  scene  might  be  more  terrible.  In  the  month  oT  Febru- 
ary, Captain  Campbell,  of  Glenlyon,  marched  into  the  valley  of  Glencoe,  with  a  com- 
pany of  soldiers  belonging  to  Argyle's  regiment,  on  pretence  of  levying  the  arrears  of 
the  land-tax  and  heartli-monpy.  When  Macdonald  .demanded  whether  they  came  as 
friends  or  enemies,  he  answered,  as  ♦"'•iends,  and  promised,  upon  his  honor,  that  neith- 
er he  nor  his  people  should  sustain  the  least  injury.  This  otHcer  and, his  men  were 
then  received  with  the  most  cordial  hospitality,  and  lived  fifteen  days  widi  the  men 
of  the  vallev.  in  tlie  most  unreserved  frieuclship.  At  length  tbe  fatal  period  ap- 
proached. Macdonald  and  Campbell  having  padsed  the  day  together,  parted  about 
seven  in  the  evening,  with  mutual  professions  of  the  warmest  aflection.  But  the 
young  Macdonalds  suspected  something,  and  went  out  of  the  casde,  the  guards  of 
which  were  doubled.  They  overheard  the  coniinon  soldiers  say  they  liked  not  the 
work ;  that  though  tliey  would  have  willingly  fought  the  Macdonalds  of  the  Glen 
fairly  in  the  field,  they  held  it  ba«e  to  murder  tlicin  in  cool  blood.  When  the  youths 
hasted  back  to  apprise  their  failier  of  the  impending  danger,  they  saw  the  house  al- 
ready surrounded ;  they  heard  the  discharge  of  muskets,  the  shrieks  of  women  and 
children;  and,  being  destitute  of  arms,  secured  their  own  lives  by  immediate  flight. 
The  savage  ministers  of  vonj^eance  had  entered  the  ol<l  man's  chamber,  and  shot  him 
through  the  head.  He  fell  down  dead  in  the  arms  of  his  wife,  wiiv,  died  next  day, 
distracted.  The  Laird  of  Auchintriucken,  Macdonald's  guest,  who  iiad  three  months 
before  this  period  submitted  to  the  government,  sind  at  tins  very  time  had  a  protection 
in  his  pocket,  was  put  to  death  withoi  t  question.     \  !«oy  of  eiglu  years, , who  fell  at

Canipbell's  feet,  imploring  mercy,  and  oiTering  to  serve  him  for  life,  was  stabbed  to 
the  heart  by  on«  Drumniond,  a  subultcrn  uflicer.  Eiglil  nndthirty  persons  suftered 
in  this  manner,  the  greater  part  of  whom  were  surprisinl  in  their  beds,  and  liurricd 
into  eternity  before  they  had  time  to  implore  the  divine  mercy.  Tiie  design  was  to 
butcher  airtlio  males  under  seventy  that  lived  in  tiie  valley,  their  number  beintj  SOO; 
but  some  of  the  defaohmenta  did  not  arrive  soon  enough  to  secure  the  posses ;  bo  that 
160  escaped.  Campbell,  having  perpetrated  this  brutal  Miussiiacre,  ordered  all  the 
houses  to  be  burned,  made  a  prey  of  all  the  cattle  and  cftecta  that  were  found  in  the 
valley,  and  left  the  helpless  women  and  children,  whose  fathers  and  husbands  he  had 
murdered,  naked  and  tbrlorn,  witliout  covering,  food  or  shelter,  in  the  midst  of  the 
snow  diat  covered  the  whole  face  of  the  country,  nt  the  distance  of  six  long  milea 
from  an/  inhabited  pla(r'^.  Distracted  with  grief  and  horror,  surrounded  with  the 
shades  of  night,  shivering  with  cold,  and  appalled  with  the  apprehension  of  immediate 
death  from  Uie  swords  of  those  who  had  sacrificed  their  friends  and  kinsmen,  they 
generally  perished  in  the  waste,  before  they  could  receive  condbrt  or  assistance. — 
This  barbarous  massacre,  performed  under  the  sanction  of  King  William's  authori- 
ty, answered  the  purpose  of  the  Court,  by  striking  terror  into  the  hearts  of  the  High- 
landers :  but  excited  the  horror  of  all  those  who  had  not  renounced  every  sentiment 
of  humanity."-|l8.18,  Major  Wm.  Harrison,  a  gallant  Canadian  advanced  in  years, 
and  who  led  n  Body  of  the  Canadians  on  tlje  Tuesday  night,  when  they  made  such  a 
speedy  and  needless  retreat  from  a  blooiUess  victory  bai-k  of  Toronto,  no  one  pursu- 
ing, died  this  day,  at  Hunt's  Hollow,  U.  S.  He  was  a  worthy  man  of  estimable  pub- 
lic and  private  reputation,  and  his  whole  soul  was  wrapt  up  in  delivering  his  country 
from  English  bondage.  The  retreat  of  his  comrades,  ami  dieir  refusal  to  return  to 
the  attack,  broke  his  heart-^he  went  to  his  home,  took  to  bed,  was  sought  for  by  the 
enemy,  retreated  to  the  U.  S.  and  soon  died  of  grief.  He  had  a  fine  estate  near  the 
city,  but  whedicr  Arthur  has  allowed  his  family  to  remain  on  it  we  know  not.i

Lord  Stanley  denies  in  House  of  Commons  that  government  had  compromis-

Barrett,  Lawless  and  John  Reynolds,  had  been  held  to  bail  in  Dublin,  by  or- 
der of  government,  on  a  charge  of  conapiring  to  evade  Lord  Anglesey's  proclama- 
tions for  the  suppression  of  a  society  favorable  to  n  repeal  of  the  union.  On  the

that  is  one  reason  why  I  would  not  be  sornf  to  see  the  English  Peerage,  Parliament 
men  and  Ministry  begging  their  bread  in  foreign  lands,  with  this  pledge  read  to

for  3  weeks,  or  till  parliament  had  considered  about  it.  They  paid  no  more  for  twen- 
ty years.  The  English  people  had  their  rags  for  a  currency,  and  as  English  gold 
would  not  submit  to  tlio  degradation  of  circulating  with  rags  it  wa«  driven  out  of  En- 
gland tp  foreign  couutries,  or  sent  abroad  to  pay  English  and  foreign  troops  to  keep 
up  war  and  murder  and  bloodshed  in  countries  which  would  not  touch  the  or.nk  mgs. 
iMeontime  the  English  national  debtdoublwd — the  rich  grew  richer  and  the  poor  got 
down  to  absolute  want.  People  of  America,  are  you  prepared  to  shield  improvident 
speculators,  the  banks  and  their  debtors,  by  adopting  a  system  which,  as  Mr.  Delavan 
says,  has  made  600.000  drunkards  in  Bi-itain  of  whom  60,000  drop  annually  into  an 
untimely  grave  ?  The  above  act  of  the  privy  coun<!il  cheated  creditors  and  enriched 
debtors.  The  man  who  borrowed  five  cloUars  in  gold  die  day  before  the  oi^er,  took 
that  $5  purchased  $7  in  bank  rags,  and  paid  his  creditor  in  moonshine  !-|tt 8 14,  In

colony  under  military  power  and  suspend  thfj  habeas  corpus  act,  so  that  no  one  in  jail

officers,  the  liberators  stood  to  their  arm'?  for  a  fight,  but  finally  grounded  arms.  Their 
number  was  70,  leaders  included,  but  they  were  to  have  been  joined  by  the  whole

member  of  the  Upper  Canada  Legislature,  voted  guilty  of  librl,  expelled  the  As- 
sembly, and  obliged  to  Hy  from  its  vcni^eanco  for  exposing,  in  an  address  tn  ihe 
electors  of  VVentwor;h,  the  horrible  erucliy  practised  towards  the  Canadians  in  fiie 
war  of  1314,  when  tnartial  law  waa  unlawfully  proclaimed  by  the  military  tyrant 
of  the  day.  For  this  attempt  to  bridle  a  free  press  voted  Jonas  Jones,  Peter  Ro- 
binson, Mahlon  Burwell,  Isaac  Frazer,  Burnnam,  Vankoughnct,  of  Cornwall.  | 
<  MARCH  2.  1938,  William  Lesslie,  merchant,  Toronto,  committed  to  Kingston 
Jail  charaed  with  hi<ih  treason.^1781.  The  celebrated  PENNSYLV.AMA 
LINE  MUTINY.  They  were  chiefly  Irishmen,  gallant  boys,  wholoved  to  re- 
venge Ireland's  wrongb  on  America's  enemies.  But  America  was  basely  un- 
grateful. They  fought  for  the  weaithy,  the  luxurious,  the  rich,  who  rioted  in 
wealth,  while  tneir  brave  defenders  marked  their  road  tracks  with  the  blood  ot 
thi'ir  shoeless  feet.  What  did  the  rich  care?  When  they  mutinied  Lo.-d  Ho<ve 
sent  mesacngers  to  them  promising  every  thing  that  a  robber  power  vou!d  give, 
if  they  would  but  join  bloody  England— provisions,  clothing,  arrears  of  pay,  par- 
don for  the  past  and  bounties  for  the  fut  ire.  But  there  was  no  Silas  Deane,  no 
Kgerton  Ryerson,  no  Arnuld,  no  Judas  among  them.  They  seized  the  King's 
messengers,  who  were  hiinjr,  and  continued  to  prefer  poverty  and  liberty  lo  Bri- 
tish gold.  What  an  example  to  the  greedy,  speculating,  gambling  race  of  the  pre- 
sent day,  who  would  grind  to  powder  if  they  could  the  farmer  and  laborer !  It 
was  the  subjects  of  English,  French,  and  other  monarchies  who  caincd  this 
country  its  independence.  Washington,  Franklin,  Jefferson,  and  Jackson,  were 
British  colonists  born  and  bred;  and  "the  native  Americans"  forget  that  among 
the  foreigners  whose  skill  and  valor  freed  the  Union  were  Generals  Lnfav'ttlv, 
Lee, Gates,  Stewart,  Montgomery,  Pulaski,  Kosciusko,  Mercer,  Stfuben,  Dekalb, 
McPherson,  St.  Clair,  Mnlcolm'.  Hamilton,  not  forgetting  Charles  Thompson, 
Judge  Wilson,  Thomas  Paine.  Wm.  Finlay,  Dr.  Wiiherspoon,  and  hundri>ds  of 
others.  Matthew  Carey  tells  us  in  his  Olive  Branch,  that  in  1813- 11,  Philadel|ihia 
was  threatened  with  an  invading  foe;  thousands  of  citizens  from  a  distance  vo- 
lunteered for  its  defence,  leaving  their  homes  and  tht'ir  families,  to  protect  the  ci- 
tizens. He  adds.  "We  made  them  a  base  return."  They  joined  in  the  hardships 
of  a  camp,  neglected  by  the  wealthy.  Contributions  were  requested  by  the  com- 
mittee of  defence  and  only  S'OOO  subscribed  in  a  city  where  100  persons  were  thtn 
worth  over  $250,000  each,  30  or  40  worth  3  or  8400,000,  and  several  worth  mil- 
lions, Th8  government  einbarrassod  by  the  rich  men  of  Boston  had  no  money  to 
Eay  them,  and  (says  Mr.  Carey)  they  had  to  depend  on  charity  in  order  to  pet 
omo  again.  The  rich,  gertcrally  speaking,  hate  a  free  government,  and  all  that 
the  people  can  do  they  should  do  to  prevent  monopolies  and  the  accumulation  of 
wenllb  in  the  hands  of  a  few.  Well  did  Christ  say,  that  it  was  easier  for  a  camel 
to  pass  through  the  eye  of  a  needle  than  for  a  rich  man  to  find  the  road  to  heaven. 
Would  thev  havodnne  as  the  Hibernians  did  with  Howe?    I  guess  not. 

f  MARCH  3.  1839,  The  patriots  having  concentrated  their  forces  on  Point-nii- 
Pclee  Island,  40  miles  from  Aniherstburgh,  and  20  from  the  Canadian  shore,  on 
26ih  February  are  att>»rked  by  Col.  Maitland,  ^00  regulars  and  200  Indians,  ne- 
groes and  militia,  40  of  tliein  cavalry,  at  daybreak,  after  a  night's  march  ov*  r  the 
ice.  The  island  was  nine  milus  lonir,  and  the  lories  attacked  them  from  both  ends 
of  it ;  a  very  bravo  defence  was  made,  but  at  length  the  English  drove  the  patriots

The  patriot  force  was  only  152.— 1617,  Moses  Gombic  expelled  the  U.  C.  Legisla-

way  from  Ireland  to  Canada,  and  had  not  resided  quite  14  years  in  the  colony

i'ornnto,  banished  from  U.  C.  for  rebellion  )hl825.  HENRY  CLAY  appointed 
Fecretary  of  State,  by  Mr.  Adams.  Mr.  Clay  is  eloquent  and  able,  and  entered 
public  life  an  uncompromising  rcpublicnnof  the  Jeflerson  school,  in  which  he  and 
Ma^'tin  Van  Biiren  were  reared.  In  this  faith  he  continued  until  the  United  States 
Knnk  (the  granting  a  charter  lo  which  in  1816  he  manfully  opposed  while  J.  C. 
Cilhoun  and  (we  think)  Andrew  Jackson,  supported  it)  began  the  game  of  in- 
creasing her  power  by  tickling  the  palms  of  distinguished  men,  retaining  them 
as  her  attornies,  and  granting  liberal  accommodations  on  7io;ntna^  securities. — 
From  that  day  forward,  the  splendid  talents  and  powerful  influence  of  Henry 
Clay  have  been  found  enlisted  on  the  sido  of  "associated  wealth,"  and  anti-republi- 
cin  monopoly.  His  n^o/ec/ivs  tariff,  his  scheme  for  a  distributitm  of  the  public 
money,  his  U.  S.  Bank  renewal,  and  50  million  Bank  charter  support,  mark  the 
change  of  his  principles.  Noah,  and  other  editors,  who  have  abandoned  their  ear- 
ly advocacy  of  democracy  for  mercantile  and  banking  favors  and  patronage,  zeal- 
ously uphold  Mr.  Clay.  TheN.  Y.  traders  and  bankers  consider  him  as  "  their 
candidate."  The  U.  S.  Bank,  whose  dangerous  power  he  once  eloquently  expo- 
sod,  found  him  poor  nnd  embarrassed,  and  made  him  its  prosecuting  attorney  in 
the  west,  thus  relieving  him  from  pecuniary  trouble,  and  laying  the  foundation  for 
his  present  handsome  jfortunc.  Thenceforward  he  worshipped  the  irresponsible 
power  of  avarice  incorporated  whh  ambition  and  secrecy,  and  shielded  by  irres- 
ponsibility, and  left  his  mantle  to  another  Elijah.  Mr.  Clay  was  one  of  the  Com- 
missioners  of  the  treaty  of  Ghent — a  treaty  which  left  unsettled  every  important 
principle  and  question,  for  which,  in  1312,  the  U.  S.  had  decla  ed  war,  and  after- 
wards expended  150  millions  of  money  and  lost  many  brave  lives.  In  1824  he 
joined  his  opponents  to  place  Mr.  Adams  in  power,  though  the  candidate  of  the 
I  minority.  The  effect  of  his  high  tariff  sytem  is  lo  tax  the  farmer  for  the  benefit 
\of  new  trades  which  require  hot-hous6  warming,  and  to  accumulate  large  sums  of 
\  surplus  revenue  for  the  Banks  to  speculate.  Perhaps  the  basest  proposition  of  this 
^degenerate  politician  is  his  land  bill  to  relieve  the  worthle^ss  speculators  of  the  se- 
veral states  from  the  consequences  of  their  dishonorable  and  faithless  conduct  to 
the  people,  by  giving  them  the  public  lands  to  speculate  on,  and  prevent  the  ne- 
cessity of  a  recurrence  to  direct  taxation,  the  first  effectual  check  to  slate  venality 
and  legislative  corruption.  When  Mr.  Preston  proposed  tc  take  the  notes  of  the 
bankrupt  banks  in  payment  for  public  dues ;  that  is,  to  legalise  fraud  and  diphpn- 
eity  as  a  part  of  the  constitution,  he  found  a  supporter  in  fl^Henry  Clay. — "The 
/rue  and  on/w  efficacious  and;)c»-7nann<remedy,  I  solemnly  believe,  is  to  be  found 
in  a  Bank  of  the  United  State.'»."— Henry  Clay,  Feb.  19, 1838.  "  This  institution

continent.  „    .  -,  ,     ,     •  t 

»  MAR.  6.  1834,  York,  Upper  Canada,  was  this  day  called  Toronto  by  legisla- 
tive enactment,  created  into  a  city,  with  a  splendid  and  costly  government  of  a 
Mayor  who  might  have  "1000  salary,  and  who  wttB  not  only  to  preside  in  tho 
Common  Uonncil  and  act  as  ls»  magistrate  within  the  city,  but  also  i.  ■  hold  criin- 
iiial  courts,  and  call  grand  and  petitjurora  to  decide  cases  in  penercl  sessions.  So 
obnoxious  was  this  measure,  that  at  a  public  meeting  held  in  the  court  house  to 
consider  it,  only  three  persons  desired  the  expensive  change.  But  Sir  Allnn  M'Nab 
truly  declared  in  the  House  of  Assembly  that  government  would  give  n  city  char- 
tor  to  the  people  to  punish  them  for  their  support  of  Mackenzie.  Sir  John  Col- 
borne  issued  his  precept  for  theelection  of  tho  Ist  Mayor,  Aldermen  and  Common 
Councilmeii,  a  few  days  after ;  the  voting  was  open  and  by  wards.  A  majority  of 
the  council  (of  20)  were  reformers;  there  were  two  candidates  for  the  31ayornlty, 
Dr.  John  llolph.whom  the  minority  supported,  and  who  agreed  to  serve  if  elect- 
ed, hut  when  he  found  that  he  would  not  obtain  the  support  of  the  reformers,  ho 
resigned  his  office  of  Alderman.  The  Council  elected  Mackenzie,  (who  had  been 
previously  returned  ns  Churchwarden,)  and  he  took  the  oaths  and  was  thus  tho 
first  Justice  ot  the  Peace  elected  by  thepeople  either  of  Upper  or  Lower  Canada. 
The  charter  privilege  has  overwhelmed  ttie  place  with  debt,  and  proved  a  curse  t(» 
the  population.— 1833,  On  the  complaint  ofMackeniie,  on  behalf  of  the  Canadians, 
Earl  Ripon  (Lord  Goderich)  turned  out  Hagernianand  Boullon  from  the  lucrativo 
oflTices  of  Attorney  and  Solicitor  General  of  U.  C.  because  they  opposed  every  re- 
form. They  went  to  London  aud  complained ;  Hagerman  was  instantly  reinsta- 
ted, and  Boulton  made  Chief  Justice  of  Newfoundland.  I  This  was  a  violation  of 
the  royal  word  to  the  Canadians,  but  there  was  no  redress.— 1836,  Colonel  David 
Crockett  killed  at  tlie  Alamo. 

MARCH  7.  1829,  The  Hoboken  Bank  got  ugly,  and  would  not  pay  its  debts. 
Many  a  poor  farmer  and  mechanic  suffered  for  that.  What  did  the  Directors 
care,  they  lost  nothing!  What  did  the  stockholders  care,  they  had  divided  glo- 
rious dividends,  and  many  of  them  borrowed  twice  as  much  at  thev  paid  in  of 
stock.  The  present  banks  of  Hoboken  will  stand  bettor— they  are  Seautiful  in 
summer. 
MARCH  8.  1702,  William  HL  (Prince  of  Orange)  died. 
MARCH  9.  1566,  David  Rizzio  assassinated  in  dueen  Mary's  apartment. — 
Martin  Van  Buren  becomes  Secretary  of  State,  U.  S.— 1839,  D.  McDowell,  in 
the  Enghsli  National  Convention,  describes  their  cruel  factory  system,  embra- 
cing upwards  of  one  million  and  a  half  distressed  persons.  At  Rainsbottom,  tho 
condition  of  the  poor  engaged  at  the  factories  vyas  miserable  in  the  extreme.  There 
were  309  cottages  occupieaby  them  which,  with  a  few  exceptions,  were  indiffer- 
ently furnished,  and  were  so  situated  as  to  be  injurious  to  their  inmates,  both  phy- 
sically and  morally.  Twenty-one  families  inhabiting  those  cottages,  with  foiir 
individuals  in  each  tamily,  occupied  one  bed  room  ;  twenty-five  families  of  six, 
one  bed-room;  twenty-four  families  of  five,  one  bed- room  ;  five  families  of 
eight,  one  bed-room;  two  families  of  twelve,  and  one  family  of  thirteen  persons, 
occupied  one  bed-room.  (Cries  of  "shame,  shame.")  In  other  places  it  was 
the  same.  The  wages  of  those  persons  did  not  exceed  five  shillings  on  an  aver- 
age, while  there  were  cases  where  the  wages  was  only  2s.  6d.  per  week,  from 
which  were  to  be  deducted— rent,  coals,  and  the  wear  of  furniture,  besides  tho 
doctor's  bill.  Hence,  rags,  Gtarvation,  and  death  were  the  fate  of  those  unfortu- 
nate people.  ■ 

MARCH  10.  1338,  The  Neutrality  Law,  so  called,  passed.-^lSSg.  .Sir  F. 
Head,  in  his  Narrative,  stau^s  that  Colbornu  had  given  to  Judge  Ridoui  several 
profitable  situations  to  induce  him  to  change  his  principles  and  leave  the  reform- 
ers—and as  they  had  not  produced  that  elTect,  he.  Head,  had  t&ken  these  offices 
from  htm  again  !  i 

MARCH  12.  1839,  Francois  S.  and  T.  S.  Lafontaino,  David  Dcmers  and 
nine  other  French  Canadians  ordered  to  be  executed  for  rebellion  against  th« 
Kiiglish  robbers  of  Canada,  after  a  mock  trial  by  the  military  court  at  Montreal.

thiuugliout  the  State,  lands  worth  sixty  millions  of  dollars,  which  that  priestliood 
dnim  to  own  independent  of  their  flocks.  Even  in  England  the  House  of  Commons 
admit  that  the  atut?  may  sell  chundi  property.  It  is  in  dangerons  hands.  Why  not 
dispone  of  it,  pay  off  the  state  debt,  coti>|ilete  the  canals  and  railroads,  extend  the  ad- 
vantages of  common  schools,  and  leave  the  bishops  and  oily  clergy  on  a  footing  with

"The  accounts  which  you  had  received  of  the  accession  of  Canada  to  the  Union 
were  premature.  It  is  a  measure  much  to  be  wished  and  I  believe  would  not  be  dis- 
pleasing to  the  people;  but,  while  Cnrlcton  remains  among  them,  with  ihee  or  four 
thousand  rcgvtlar  troops,  thoy  dare  not  avow  their  sentiments,  if  they  rcnllv  are  favor- 
able, without  a.  strong  support.  Your  ideas  of  its  importance  to  our  political  union 
coincide  exactly  with  mine.  If  tlint  (Country  is  not  with  us.  from  its  proximity  to  the 
Pastern  States,  its  intercourse  and  connexion  with  the  numerous  tribes  of  western  In- 
dians, its  communion  with  them  by  water  and  other  local  advantages,  it  will  lie  nt 
least  a  troublesome  if  not  a  dangerous  neighbor  to  us ;  and  ought,  at  all  events  to  be 
in  the  same  interest  and  politics  as  the  other  States." — General  Wathington  to

lac,  Monday,  JOHN  MONTOOMEUY  was  tried  at  Toronto  for  High  Treason 
Vist  Victoria,  before  a  mock  jury  selected  of  the  basest,  most  dejwndant  tories 
pf  the  county,  but  picked  up  by  the  shcritVal  Hagermnn's  order,  through  the  ci» 
y  were  men  whom  the  banks  could  break  down  at  a  dinI  except  perhaps 
Irews  the  bellman.     They  are  D.  M.  and  P.  Faterson,  Jr.,  Win.  Andrews,  (1. 
Ire,  T.  Champion,  W.  and  J.  Ross,  CJ.  Denholin,  Joseph  Rogers,  J.  M.  Murchi- 
|W.  Osborne,  G.  B.  Willard.     We  will  give  them  an  unenviable  notoriety  to  last 
lives.     Hagerman  thought  there  were  some  nnmes  of  jurors  drawn  win*  had  a 
I  humanity  left,  and  he  objected  to  erery  man  of  them.     Sherwoo<l  and  Hager- 
Iwere  united  to  procure  a  conviction.     Win.  Clark,  Painter:  John  Linfoot,  Butch 
Hugh  Stewart,  R.  N.,  James  .Severs  a  sheriff's  bailiff,  George  1).  Reed,  Win. 
ner  an  hosder,  W.  B.  Crew.  David  Bridgeford  a  poor  colonel,  Thomas  Nightin- 
j,  Butcher,  and  James  Purdv,  his  man,  and  Archibald  Cameron,  son  to  a  half-pay 
Lei.  were  the  informers  and  Queen's  evidence.     They  did  their  best  to  have  him 
jictL'd.  yet  he  was  innocent  as  we  well  know,  for  he  was  us  ignorant  of  the  inten- 
|of  the  reformers  to  take  possession  of  his  premises  on  4th  Dec,  as  the  babe  un- 
J,  and  it  was  bui  natural  tiiat  he  should  stoo  nnd  watch  so  valuable  >in  estate.    Ha- 
[lan's  language  was  vindictive  enough;  ana  C.  J.  Robinson  plcad«;"d  for  a  convic- 
|hc  was  sure  of  at  the  hand  of  hia  creatures.     If  the  defendant  rould  select  liia 
rs  he  would  always  get  clear.     In  John  Beverly  Robinson's  trials  his  creatures 
ct  such  jurors  as  will  ensure  conviction.     Win.  Ketchum  swore  that  he  (K.)  waa 
on  Tuesday  at  the  rcfonnera'  camp  with  Dr.  Rolph  and  Mr.  Baldwin,  who  bore 
of  truce  from  Head,  and  that  Dr.  Kolph  took  h.'in  aside  and  bade  him  represent 
jforce  af  the  country  people  "as  vefy  strong."  and  that  iie  had  been  told  on  Mon- 
I  that  the  city  would  be  attacked  that  night,  probably  by  the  same  friend.     Mr. 
ptcomery  was  sentenced  to  be  hung,  drawn  on  a  hurdle,  cut  up  info  fjuarters,  &c. 
lobinson,  but  the  people  were  so  horror  struck  with  Mr.  Jaunt's  buUrhery,  that 
rtur  ordered  him  to  be  banished  to  perpetual  slavery  in  Botany  Bay.     He  escap* 
|reached  the  land  of  the  free,  and  affords  a  home  for  many  a  brother  reformer,  in 
I  flourishing  city.     He  was  worth  $3000  a  year  before  the  revolt. 
IPRIL  3.  1829,  The  New  York  Safety  Fund  Act  passed.    A  good  patch  on  a  cor- 
I,  vicious,  system.  The  Scotch  Banking  system  is  freedom  of  trade — no  great  nation- 
lank  to  ruin  the  others — interest  paid  on  deposites — stockholders  all  responsible 
)sue  no  dollar  bills — the  bankrupt  law  stops  a  bank  the  moment  it  fails  to  meet  its 
geinents,  and  its  property  ana  that  of  its  owners,  is  instantly  applied  towards 
ipaytnent  of  its  debts — Scotland  owes  much  in  morals  and  prosperity  to  the  com- 
ytive  freedom  of  her  banking  system  from  parliamentary  intrigue  or  jobbing, 
chhas  proved  ruinous  in  Englana,  the  United  States,  Canada  and  Nova  Scotia, 
r  local  situation  protects  her  against  the  general  bad  consequences  ofthat  abuse  of 
iit,  small  note».     But  the  Scotch  system  would  not  anawf.T  in  America.

APRIL  5.  1830,  Fight  at  Bonnymuir,  Scotland,  between  a  party | 
brave  Scotsmen,  up  for  freedom  from  the  English  yoke,  and  the  hireling  i 
dicry  of  royalty.  Tiie  latter  triumph. — 1646,  lEJr  King  Charles  Ist,  thJ 
wliom  no  royal  hypocrite  over  more  deserved  the  death  he  met,  wrote  publ 
(leHpatches  to  his  governors  in  Ireland,  which  he  took  care  secretly  to  renil 
ineffectual  by  private  despatches  of  same  date,  telling  them  to  act  the  cq 
trary  way,  as  it  would  please  him  better.  This  is  the  course  pursued  by  I 
Kings  of  England,  through  their  secretaries  Goderich,  Stanley,  Spring  RiJ 
and  Normanby,  who  write  plausible  lies  to  the  colonial  governors.  Head,  Ci 
borne  and  Arthur,  for  publication  and  deception,  and  private  ones  telliij 
them  to  bind  the  yoke  as  tight  as  they  can. — 1713,  O"  Mr.  Walpolc,  (afl| 
"wards  Sir  Robert,  and  premier  of  England)  Secretary  at  War,  convicted  i 
pocketing  a  bribe  of  $2000  on  a  Scotch  forage  contract,  expelled  pariij 
mcnt,  imprisoned  in  the  Tower,  and  when  re-elected  declared  incapable  | 
sitting. 

APRIL  6.  A  NATIONAL  BANK.— If  it  be  a  company  concern  li^ 
the  last  you  cannot  prevent  the  capitalists  of  England  from  owning  and  ( 
recting  it — no  law  can  stop  that  result.  If  they  own  it,  the  rnonied  affaij 
of  the  country  will  be  directed  by  the  props  of  monarchy,  the  enemies  of  i 
mocracy. — Again — If  it  be  a  U.  S.  government  concern — if  the  PresideiJ 
Senate  or  House  of  Representatives  choose  the  directors — if  the  political  pa 
ty  in  power  are  the  managers — it  will  be  an  engine  in  the  hands  of  pan 
which,  under  favorable  circumstances,  may  tempt  them  to  try  their  hand  J

ompted  him  in  almost  all  the  acts  of  horrid  cruelty  of  which  his  adminis.

kys,  but  in  this  case  his  dishonesty  was  made  as  open  and  notorious  as  that 

[the  robber  who  is  hung  at  Tyburn  O"  and  more  so.     A  Commission  of 

miry  asked  Melville  whether  he  had  pocketted  many  thousand  pounds  of 

money  of  the  public,  as  Treasurer  of  the  Nav}'.     He  replied  that  he  was 

It  obliged  to  criminate  himself.     His  Paymaster,  a  loyal  person  called  A. 

Dtter,  was  sent  for,  and  Melville  asked  before  him  whether  Trotter  had 

Ld  many  thousands  of  the  public  funds  for  his  private  use — in  other  words 

findled  the  people.    Trotter  would  not  tell,  nor  would  Melville,  and  the 

I  had  burnt  all  the  accounts  of  their  offices,  explanatory  of  transactions 

^wcen  them,  the  moment  the  commission  was  appointed.     As  Mclvillo 

it  not  say  "I  am  innocent,"  Pitt  had  to  keep  up  appearances,  and  Mel. 

ke  resigned  office  as  Ist  lord  of  the  admiralty,  and  his  name  was  erased

ivcs  called  "  the  lords,"  but  it  came  to  nothing.     It  is  computed  that  he 

[bed  the  country  of  a  million  of  dollars,  and  the  paymaster  of  the  navy  took 

'  his  own  use  nearly  half  a  million.     He  lived  a  noble  peer,  however,  the

iiig  to  inform  the  people  of  the  United  Kingdom  of  facts  important  to  their 
Ifare,  was  educated  (like  Watt  and  Van  Buren)  at  the  schools  of  his  native 
rn.    He  was  three  years  at  Edinburgh  University,  and  became  a  member 
!ie  Colleges  of  Surgeons  of  London  and  Edinburgh.    AAcr  being  in  the 
bt  India  Company's  naval  service  four  years,  he  proceeded  in  1799  to  Ben.

Ved  to  represent  his  native  town,  Aberdeen,  Brechin  and  Arbroath,  in  par.

inquiry  twenty  years  ago  into  the  wasteful  expenditure  of  the  government, 
ability,  zeal,  industry  and  temper,  and  has  never  ceased  to  show  his 
utry  the  advantages  of  prudent,  economical  government.     In  1828  ho

APRIL  IL     1838,  Judge  Robinson,  the  Jeffries  of  U.  C.  sentences  Joh| 
Andtsrson  (now  of  Lockport),  Ralph  Morden  (now  of  Lcwistoit),  Canadian^ 
Doctor  Theller,  a  naturalized  American  Citizen,  and  John  Montgomery,  wli

protested,  that  though  born  an  Irishman  he  had  left  that  land  of  oppressio 
early  in  life  and  become  an  American  Citizen,  abjuring  English  allegiano 
and  English  protection.     The  Judgo  %nd  Attorney  General  decided  thatoncl

London  Sun  says — ••  To  sentence  him  to  death,  to  keep  him  months  in  pri

to  Irishmen,  of  whom  Thcllei  is  one,  the  claim  of  the  law  seems  to  us  i 
utter  abomination,  which  every  man  is  hound  to  protest  against.     Ireland  i 
still  more  a  prey  to  a  redundcncy  of  people  than  England,  and  there  the  fJ 
miiihing  wretches,  cluared  from  an  estate,  driven  out  from  their  roofless  lioj 
dings  by  a  Beresford  or  a  Bandon,  have  very  often  no  resource,  but  to  bin 
themselves  to  an  American  Captain,  who  carries  them  across  the  Atlaiitiij 
and  sells  their  service  when  they  arrive.     They  are  compelled  by  those  i 
whom  the  law  vests  the  property  of  the  soil,  and  whom  the  law  encouragJ 
to  CLEAA  their  estates,  to  leave  their  native  country,  and  when  they  procuij 
in  another  the  bread  which  their  own  denied  them,  the  law  still  claims  the! 
obedience,  ties  them  to  starvation,  treats  them  the  same  as  one  of  the  fava

lution  at  the  gallows ;  Ihcy  would  not  have  spoken  to  the  people,  had

lead  being  nearly  severed  from  his  body,  owing  to  the  depth  of  the  fall. 

horrible  to  relate,  when  he  was  cut  down,  two  rufRans  seized  the  end  ot

But  Sam  Jarvis  came  in,  cried  out  that  it  was  the  rebel  Lount,  and  or.

latinn.     In  one  of  his  papers  Dalton  says,  "  We  had  several  interviews

[r.  Charles  Durand,  then  under  sentence  of  death,  gives  the  following  ac 
|nt  of  the  last  days  of  these  glorious  martyrs  : — •'  Matthews  always  bore 

in  spirits  well.  He  was,  until  death,  firm  in  his  opinion  of  the  justice  of 
j  cause  he  had  espoused.  He  never  recanted.  He  was  ironed  and  kept 
|he  darkest  cell  in  tlie  prison  like  a  murderer.     He  slept  sometimes  in 

ikets  that  were  wet  and  frozen.  He  had  nothing  to  cheer  him  but  thu 
brobation  of  his  companions  and  his  conscience.  Lount  was  ironed,  tho* 
kt  in  a  better  room.  He  was  in  good  spirits.  He  used  to  tell  us  uflen,  in 
Iting,  not  to  be  downcast,  that  he  believed  '  Canada  would  yet  be  free,* 
It  we  were  '  contending  in  a  good  cause.'     He  said  he  w^as  not  sorry  for 

It  he  had  done,  and  that  *  he  would  do  so  again.'    This  was  his  mind  un. 

death.    Lount  was  a  social  and  excellent  companion,  and  a  well  informed 
He  sometimes  spoke  to  us  under  the  sill  of  our  door.     He  did  so  ou 

I  inorning  of  his  execution !  he  bid  us  *  farewell !  that  he  was  on  his  way 

mother  world.'  He  was  calm.  He  and  Matthews  came  out  to  the  gaU 
jrs,  that  was  just  before  our  window  grates.  We  could  see  all  plainly. — 
|ey  ascended  the  platform  with  unfaltering  steps  like  men.     Lount  turned 

head  at  his  friends  who  were  looking  through  the  iron.girt  windows,  as 
ko  lay  a  <long  farewell !'  He  and  Matthews  knelt  and  prayed,  and  were

APRIL  18.  1G89,  Judge  Jeffries  died.-ENGLlSH  GOVERNMENT  IN 
BRITAIN.  Mastems  AND  Slaves  !— It  IS  a  monstrous  iniquity  that  the  elec- 
tive franchise  should  be  in  the  hands  of  so  small  a  proportion  of  the  peonle  of 
Eii|;iand.  It  is  scarcely  endurable  that,  in  this  great  country,  there  shoula  be  a 
master  clasd  having  votes,  and,  therefore,  by  themselves  and  tlieir  representatives, 
making  all  the  laws;  and  on  ihe other  hand,  a  slave  class,  having  nnthmg  to  do 
with  the  laws  but  to  obey  them,  and  to  suffnr  their  pressure  and  infliction.  The 
Reform  Bill  has  failed.  It  has  created  a  capriciously-selected  class  of  voters,  ob-> 
noxious  (o  intimidation,  and  liable  to  corruption.  It  has  increased  the  bribery, 
the  perjury,  the  villany  of  theunreformedsvstem.  It  is  disgraceful  to  the  coun- 
try, and  insulting  to  its  people.—  Daniel  O  Conntll^a  addresato  Ike  Chartiata  of

APRIL  19.  1775,  Battle  of  Concord,  where  the  English  commenced  their  eight 
years  of  wholesale  murders  upon  the  Americans,  to  reduce  them  into  slavery. — 
General  Gage  resolved  to  take  from  the  Americans,  certain  stores  thev  had  at 
Concord— sent  900  Grenadiers,  &c.  who  when  thev  arrived  at  Lexington  found 
about  70  militiamen  paraded  on  the  green.  Major  Pitcairn  rode  up,  and  thunder- 
ed in  their  enrs,  •'  Disperse,  ye  rebels ;  throw  down  your  arms  and  disperse!"— 
they  were  in  no  hurry,  on  which  he  rode  in  amonsj  them,  (as  Moodie  did  at  Mont- 
gomery's,) and  fired  his  pisiol,  and  ordered  his  men  to  fire  also — they  did  so — 
eight  Americans  fell  dead  and  several  more  were  wounded.  ThiswQ.s  the  first  of 
the  eight  years  murders— Colonel  Smith  moved  onwards  to  Concord,  destroyed 
some  stores,  fired  on  the  militia,  the  fire  was  returned,  the  regulars  retreated  with 
a  loss  of  prisoners !  The  country  people  rose  en  masse,  General  Gage  sent  other 
900  men  to  aid  the  invaders— yet  the  whole  1800  fied  before  400,  snooting  over 
fences,  behind  bushes,  &c.  The  English  lost  276  men,  the  Americans  CO.  The 
people  ofChailestown  used  the  royal  troops  with  kindness,  and  (like  Colborne  at 
St.  Benoit)  they  (the  royalists)  soon  after  set  fire  to  the  place  and  burnt  it.

—1827,  AMF/lIICAN  ALIENS.  Many  thousands  of  the  best  settlers  in  U.  C. 
were  born  in  the  U.  S.,  and  the  honesty  of  their  votes  induced  Judge  Robinson  to 
prompt  the  English  Guvernment  to  declare  them  aliens,  incapable  of  holding  or 
conveying  real  estate,  although  the  half  of  U.  C.  either  belonged  to,  or  had  passed 
through  their  hands.  This  was  done,  and  a  bill  brought  into  one  of  our  corrupt 
Assemblies  to  enable  them  to  hold  their  farms  bu'  not  to  vole  at  elections,  if  tht-y 
Would  abjure  their  native  country  for  ever.  This  bill  passed  our  Colonial  Assem- 
bly, which  it  was  nut  ditficult  ..*  bribe  or  intimidate,  and  was  sent  to  England  for 
the  royal  assent.  To  lose  American  votes  would  have  been  the  downfall  of  the 
democratic  party,  and  a  central  committee  of  four  wasappomted.  (Messrs.  Joseph

can  birth  and  principles,  to  undftake  the  journey  secretly.  Mr.  R.  conMnted. 
Instructious  were  drafted  by  Mr.  Mackenzie,  at  thecommitteo's  direction  (which 
he  yut  preserves,  as  signed  by  them,)  and  tliese,  with  a  memorial  having  16,000 
signatures,  Mr.  R.  took  to  England  in  March  of  this  year,  liaving  previously 
agreed  that  Mr.  Mackenzie  should  dash  off  one  or  two  loyal  letters  to  the  Gover* 
nor  General,  Lord  Dalhousie,  and  send  him  500  copies  for  distribution  in  London, 
to  pave  the  way  for  a  favorable  reception.  The  hoax  was  ployed  off  to  admira- 
tion—Mr. R.  instanced  the  tone  of  the  liberal  paper  as  a  proi>f  of  the  loyalty  of 
the  republican  party,  and  gave  copies  of  the  No's,  conlainmg  the  letters,  in  proof. 
With  the  help  of  Mr.  Hume:  loyalty,  assiduity,  and  a  good  cause,  Mr.  R.  carried 
hit  point  with  Lord  Godericli,  and  received  a  pledge  that  the  Yankees  in  Canada 
who  had  been  subjects  from  4  to  40  years,  might  so  remain  without  abjuring  their 
native  land.  The  Colonial  Advocate  began  its  loyal  song  this  day,  and  kept  it  up 
a  whole  fortnight,  and  thus  for  once  out-generaled  the  politicians  of  England

sanutioned.  One  of  the  most  barbarous  was  that  of  this  day  whereby  they  au- 
thorized Colborne  to  keep  any  body  in  jail  that  he  pleased  and  as  long  as  ha 
pleased,  without  trial,  if  accused  of  opposing  his  government.  Many  in  this 
way  have  been  quietly  murdered,  starved  to  death  by  cold  and  hunger,  and  cru- 
elties unnumbered  practised. 

APRIL  24.  1731,  Daniel  De  Foe,  author  of  Robinson  CrusoA,  died.— 1696,  The

— 1778,  English  Pt  rliament  pass  a  solemn  declaratory  law  never  to  impose  any 
tax,  duty  or  assessment,  except  for  resalating  commerce,  upon  any  colony, 
m  N.  America,  the  product  of  this  and  all  other  taxes  and  assessments  to  be  ex- 

f  ended  by  the  votes  of  the  House  of  Assembly  only,  for  the  uses  of  such  colony, 
n  Canada  this  statute  has  been  continually  violated.— 1839,  This  day  the  Hon. 
Sam.  Young,  Chairman  of  the  Committee  on  Finance,  presented  a  Report  con* 
taining  his  opinions  on  the  state  finances,  on  internal  improvements,  on  borrow- 
ing to  tax  posterity,  on  partial  legislation,  corrupt  party  presses,  lobbv  bangers, 
national  and  state  debts,  and  other  important  matters.  This  in  the  Dest,  able- 
and  most  useful  document  of  the  kind  we  have  ever  met  with  in  America.  The 
other  members  of  committee  dissented  from  it  more  or  less,  and  the  Argus  and 
Evening  Journal  withheld  it  from  the  public  eye  till  August,  when  the  former  pa- 
per copied  it,  and  gave  a  qualified  dissent  to  its  doctrines.  How  we  should  like 
to  circulate  100,000  copies  in  the  States  and  Canada !— 1836,  The  House  of  As- 
sembly of  Lower  Canada,  having  a  full  money  chest,  the  province  bein^  free  of 
debt,  and  the  English  government  continually  taunting  the  Canadians  with  their 
ignorance,  the  people's  representatives  passed  a  bill  to  grant  60000  dollars  a  year 
for  4  years,  to^l638  eIementary*schools,  and  two  dollars  prize  money  to  good  scho- 
lars; the  heads  of  famtlies  were  to  appoint  school  trustees  and  assess  the  towns 
for  school  houses,  buildings  and  repairs;  the  country  was  divided  into  school  dis- 
tricts ;  the  trustees  were  to  chouse  the  teachers,  &c.,  and  annual  vouchers  of  ex- 
penditures to  be  exhibited.  The  Legislative  Council,  placemen,  nominees  of  go- 
vernment, threw  this  excellent  measure  out  at  once,  and  now  trample  on  the  le- 
fislature  and  keep  the  country  as  ignorant  as  possible.  By  the  government  vote 
200  schools  were  shut  up  in  one  day. — 1838,  1.  B.  Molleur  of  Henry  ville,  L.  C,

Sreat  source  of  crime  and  villainy,  the  indignant  frown  of  society  should  put  bun

House  of  Assembly,  formerly  Mayor  of  Toronto,  was  tried  there  for  high  trea- 
son, in  the  revolt  there,  Dec.  ^37.  tie  was  falsely  charged  with  joining  the  patriots

of  (lie  principal  perions  to  plan  the  revolt,  in  oid  of  the  L.  Canadians,  he,  like  ma- 
ny others,  ehrank  from  the  execution  of  his  own  schcnieB,  after  the  battle  of  St. 
Charles.      We  thought  it  ri^ht  to  conceal  the  part  ho  took  till  Iw  goi  out  of  the 
country,  and  had  hia  property  sold,    lie  ia  now  well  olTin  these  ijtatta,  having 
lost  nothing.     He  and  Dr.  K.,  it  is  presumed,  ordered  the  rising  on  a  day  they 
thought  more  suitable.     Dr.  M.,  however,  gave  the  movement  no  aid,  although 
his  influence  in  town  and  country  would  have  been  very  useful.     He  is  a  good 
speaker,  made  a  vervtair  republican  representative,  and  (with  Mackenzie,)  strong- 
ly oppo  3ed  the  flood  of  bank  incorporation  bills  whi  ;ti  those  who  wished  to  make 
easy  fortunes  out  of  honest  industry,  passed  through  the  legislature.     At  length 
it  was  proposed  to  grant  an  anti-republican  charter,  with  exclusive  privileges  to 
the  Bank  of  the  People,  ii.  which  the  Doctor  was  a  director  and  stockholder ;  thia 
altered  the  case.    He  votea  for  that  bill  through  ail  its  atages,  and  saw  it  safis  in 
the  senate  chamber.     Tho.  o  who  were  with  him  in  confinement  state  that  ha 
was  deficient  in  physical  courage.     The  jury  acquitted  him  and  saved  his  neck, 
otherwise  his  steady  opposition  as  a  repreaentative  would  have  sent  him  to  tlie 
block.    While  in  custody  he  was  cruelly  treated.    The  trial  lasted  16  hours,  and 
Hagerman  was  particularly  vindictive  against  his  old  opponent.     Two  of  the 
mock  jurors,  Murchison,  a  tailor,  bought  oy  the  tories,  and  Champion,  an  iion* 
monger,  who  could  not  afford  to  be  honest  in  Canada,  tried  hard  to  tie  a  halter 
round  the  doctor's  neck;  urging  hour  after  hour  the  necessity  ef  a  verdict  of  guilty, 
but  they  failed  for  once.     Mr.  Elliott,  an  attorney,  testified  that  at  the  time  the 
government  were  removing  the  troops  from  Toronto,  that  wicked  rebel,  Macken- 
zie, proposed  jocularly  to  a  company  of  reformers  to  take  possession  of  governoi* 
city  ana  garrison  at  once,  but  was  put  down  by  every  one  present,  and  told  not 
to  talk  of  such  things  even  in  jest ! !  I 

APRIL 26.  Would  it  be  honeat  in  a  Merchant  of  ihit  city,  state  or  na- 
tion,  to  push  into  circulation  among  the  farmer*  and  tradesmen,  hia  promises 
to  pay  on  demand,  to  three,  four  or  five  times  the  amount  of  his  means 
of  fulfilment,  and  to  receive  Jot  these  promisei  the  goods  and  the  labour  oj 
these  persons  1— It  would  be  frandules!:  and  censurable;  most  men  would  cuil 
it  swindling.  Yet  the  banks  do  this;  the^y  promise  (o  pay  on  demand /our 
times  the  amonnt  of  specie  that  ever  was  in  the  coaatry,  uud  cheat  the  farmer 
and  labourer  oat  of  their  means  apon  false  pretexts. 

APRIL  27.  1837,  Lord  Gloneig  intimates  to  Sir  F.  Head  that  his  coodoct 
in  corrupting  the  £lectionA  and  deceiving  the  people  of  U.  C.  had  entitled 
him  to  a  baronetcy  from  His  Majesty. — 1779,  Cougresa  sends  Washington 
2000  guineas  to  use  for  secret  service. — 1313.  General  Dearborn  and  Com< 
modore  Chauncey  took  Toronto,  ai\er  a  well  contested  battle.  The  explo- 
sion ofa  magazine  killed  the  American  General,  Pike,  and  killed  and  woun- 
ded many  of  his  men.  In  their  dispatches  the  American  CommaDdors  state 
that  tho  Speaker's  Mace  of  the  House  '^  f  Parliament  had  a  hamau  scalp  hang 
over  it  1—1798,  Pitt's  Alien  Bill  passed.  It  enabled  the  crown  to  detain  fo* 
reigners  in  England — to  prevent  foreigners  from  landing  in  England  without 
the  permission  of  the  crown — and  to  oblige  all  who  had  hotels  and  lodgers  to 
give  accounts  to  government  of  all  movements  of  stiangers  in  their  houses. 

Working  Men  of  America,  Doctor  Channing  advices  you  to  take  part  in  the 
politics  of  your  country.  These  are  the  true  disripline  of  a  frise  people,  and 
do  much  for  their  education.  I  couns  you  to  labor  fcr  a  clear  understanding 
of  the  subjects  which  agitate  the  community,  to  make  them  your  study,  in- 
stead of  wasting  your  leisure  in  vague  pa.-sionate  talk  aboqt  them.  The  time 
thrown  away  by  the  mass  of  the  people  on  the  rumors  of  the  day,  might,  if 
better  spent,  give  them  a  good  acquaintance  with  the  constitution,  laws,  his- 
tory, and  intercstsof  their  country,  and  thusebtablioh  thrtmselves  in  those  great 
principles  by  which  particular  meiiMures  are  to  be  deterkiiincd.  Id  proportion 
«s  the  people  thus  improve  themselves,  they  will  cease  to  be  the  tools  of  de- 
signing politicians.  Their  intelligence,  not  their  passions  and  jealonsiet,  will 
be  addressed  by  those  who  seek  their  votes.

Failmer's  Calendar. — If  you  have  not  finished  sowing  your  spring  grain,  delay 
it  no  longer:  In  planting  Indian  corn,  never  drop  it  on  much  depth  ot  strong  ma- 
nure: if  you  have  tke  means  of  dressing  it  bountifully  in  the  hill,  spread  the  dressing 
when  the  seed  is  dropped.  On  dry  ground,  furrow  deep,  live  or  six  inches  at  least; 
and  when  the  corn  is  covered,  raise  the  hill  even  with,  or  a  little  above  the  surface  of 
the  ground.     Plant  more  peas,  potatoes,  &c.     Look  to  the  caterpillars. 

MAY  1.  1839,  Great  public  Dinner  to  Mr.  Hume,  ui  the  Crown  and  Anchor, 
London;  300  gentlemen  sit  down ;  Admiral  Coddrington  in  the  chair — a  splendid 
service  of  plate  presented  to  Mr.  H. — 1695,  The  Dynasty  of  Moiiied  Knaves  reigned 
in  En,^;land.  David  Kume  tells  us  that  "  the  nr.tion  was  alarmed  by  the  circulation 
of  fictitious  wealth  instead  of  gold  and  silver,  such  as  bank  bills,  exchequer  tallies 
and  government  securities  ^or  promises  to  pay.)  The  malcontents  tried  to  shake  the 
credit  of  the  Banks  in  Parliament,  but  the  MONIED  INTEREST  preponderated 
in  both  houses."  No  doubt  it  did,  and  it  does  here  in  Anierica,  but  the  people  will 
give  it  a  shake  one  of  tiiese  days.  So  early  as  Queen  Elizabeth's  thne  a  monopoly 
of  trade  was  given  by  her  but  1  evoked  as  against  the  common  interest  of  the  people.

the  hustitr^n,  which  a  few  constables  might  have  qu.'Ued  in  five  minutes;  bultl 
tory  English  magistracy  called  out  the  foreign  red  coats,  stationed  'hem  wil 
loaded  guns  and  nxed  bayonets  in  the  public  square  opposite  the  boom  where  til 
parliamentary  voting  was  going  on ;  and  the  moment  theie  arose  a  petty  di8po[ 
,  Ihfiy  ordered  the  Colonel  and  his  troops  to  charge  and  fire  upon  the  citixiMi 
which  they  did  most  willingly,  wounding  many  near  the  hustings  and  killii| 
three  worthy  citizens  as  they  were  runnins  out  of  the  way  of  the  musketry  d(r 
St.  James's  Street.  Colonel  Mcintosh,  though  condemned  by  a  jury  in  Cans 
was  received  with  n.«rked  distinction  by  Xing  William,  thanked  by  his  Maje 
and  invited  to  dineat  the  royal  table  as  a  mark  of  approbation  of  his  conduct, 
this  enraged  the  Canadians  much,  and  paved  the  way  for  revolution.  199  lo 
had  voted  at  that  election  at  Montreal. 

1831,  CASTLEPOLLARD  MASSACRE.— At  thefair  this  day,  says  the  Dii| 
lin  Freeman's  Journal,  there  was  some  quarrelling  in  the  afternoon,  and  a  f 
atones  were  thrown,  but  this  was  soon  stopt.    The  Peelers  or  English  Po 
had  been  called  on,  however,  and  ordered  by  the  magistrates  to  restore  orda 
thev  did  so,  by  presenting  their  arms,  firing  at  random  among  the  men,  won 
ana  children  at  the  fair,  killing  7  men  and  two  women,  and  wounding  many]

gainst  the  tyranny  of  the  government.  Richard  Parker  a  brave  and  well  edu

more  fair  division  of  prize-money,  and  told  the  lords  of  the  admiralty  they  wo 
keep  possession  till  justice  was  done.  On  the  6th  of  June  they  were  joined  bi 
ships  of  the  line  from  Lord  Duncan's  fleet— the  lordsof  the  admiralty  came  dor 
to  them  and  held  a  board,  at  which  Parker  and  the  headiS  of  the  naval  con  vennj

proof  of  tory  weakness,  perhapa  Canada  would  now  be  free.    But  we  question

that  neither  life  inix  property  war  sought  for,  only  retaliation  for  a  national  in*^ 
■ult.  We  understand  that  the  Capt.  of  the  party  who  burnt  the  Ped  left  for  the 
south  immediately  afterwards.  It  was  not  Johnston.  This  was  just  seven  dayif 
after  Mr.  Stevenson  the  American  Minister  in  London  had  demanded  satisfaction! 
of  England  for  the  Caroline.— It  is  a  curious  fact  that  Jonas  Jones,  chief  owner : 
of  the  Peel — he  who  condemned  the  (i:allant  Morreau  to  be  gibbetted  for  his  opi- 1 
nions— he  who  adjudged  Chandler,  Waite,  McLcod,  Linus  Miller  and  many  other  | 
humane  and  worthy  patriots  to  a  halter — this  Jonas  Jones  was  the  first  to  urge 
Sir  F.  Head  to  burn  Montgomery's  houses,  hotel,  barn  and  premises— none  wu 
more  anxious  for  the  governor's  order  to  make  a  bonfire  of  Mr.  Gibson's  exten- 
sive and  well  filled  premises  on  Yonge  Street  than  Judge  Jones.  When  men 
learned  in  the  law,  like  Jones  and  Robinson,  and  Governors  so  wise  as  Sir  F.  6. 
Head  set  the  example,  can  they  wonder  if  their  victims  retsliate? 

1839,  WILLIAM  LEOGETT  died  at  New  Rochelle  at  9  evening,  (Wednee- 
day;)  of  bilious  colic,  in  bis  39ih  year.  We  have  derived  much  pleasure  and  uw- 
ful  information  from  the  wtitings  of  this  truly  great  and  original  mind.  He  wu 
born  in  N.  York,  educated  at  Georgetown  Colleee,  D.  C;  in  1819  he  and  his  fa- 
ther settled  in  Illinois ;  in  1822  he  was  appointed  a  midshipman  in  the  U.  S.  na- 
vy;  he  married  in  1828,  and  established  "the  Critic,"  and  in  1829  became  an  ed- 
itor of  the  N.  Y.  Evenine  Post;  in  1836  be  issued  No.  1  of  "the  Plain  Dealer," 
which  continued  10  months.  Last  Nov.  he  was  within  a  few  votes  of  receiving 
the  nomination  of  the  democratic  party  for  Member  of  Congress  for  N.  Y.  Just 
before  his  death  Mr.  Van  Buren  had  nominated  him  to  the  office  of  Diplomatic 
Agent  to  Guatemala.  The  Young  Men's  Committee  of  Tammany  Hall  area- 
bout  to  erect  a  monument  to  his  memory.  He  was  one  of  those  great  and  glori- 
ous spirits  whom  heaven  sends  among  men  at  rare  intervals  as  a  sort  of  compen- 
sation to  our  race  for  cursing  it  with  the  mercenary  generation  who  meet  in  Wall 
Street.  His  politics  were  democratic,  just,  true,  generous,  liberal  and  enlighten- 
ed. The  politics  of  right  as  opposed  to  selfishness,  of  universal  benevolence  ai 
oppnt««d  to  {IrF.nglisli  rapacity.  . 

1813,  Sir  George  Prevost  attacks  Sacket's  Harbour,  with  1000  men;  is  oppo- 
sed by  General  Brown  uf  Brow nville  and  the  militia,  with  some  regulars;  and 
compelled  to  retreat,  with  the  loss  of  Capt.  Gray  and  others. 

MAY  30.  1744,  Alexr.  Pope,  the  English  poet,  died.— 1832,  Sir  James  Mack- 
intosh, the  Scottish  philosopher,  statesman  andjurist,  died.— 1838,  Lord  Durham 
seizes  upon  the  House  of  Assembly  as  his  banqueting  room — packs  uflf  the  30,000 
volumes  of  the  Legislative  Library,  with  as  little  ceremony  an  Hoad  at  Toronto 
had  seized  Mackenzie's  20,000  volume  library,  and  carted  it  off  to  the  city  hall. 

MAY  31.  1812,  Lord  Chancellor  Eldon,  finding  that  Mr.  Troutback  had  no 
heirs,  set  aside  his  will  leaving  8500,000  to  educate,  clothe,  feed  and  aid  5000  of 
the  poor  destitute  children  of  London.    The  money  was  then  given  to  King 

George  4th  to  pay  his  gnmblingr  and debts.    What  villains  this  eartn 

contains!!— (Date  of Rathcorinack Massacre  lost. J— MASSACRE  OF  RATH- 
CORMACK,  IRELAND.— In  this  legalized  murder  fifteen  defenceless  men, 
boys  and  women  were  shot  down  by  a  military  detachment  called  out  by  thi 
Reverend  Mr.  Ryder  in  his  character  of  civil  magistrate  to  collect  certain  titht 
money  and  church  dues  for  himself  in  his  character  of  clergyman.  "  During  thii 
arduous  duty,"  says  an  English  newspaper,  "the  soldiers  displayed  admirable 
moderation  and  coolness.  The  widow  Ryan  had  evinced  the  worst  spirit  in  try- 
ing to  evade  the  payment  of  the  various  dues  to  th<)  clergy  man,  an  unwillingneii 
to  pay  that  ended  in  an  order  to  fire  into  the  premises  (tne  hay-yard  or  haggard), 
The  clergyman,  Mr.  Ryder,  is  a  man  ot  mild  character,  of  the  most  irreproacha- 
ble life,  and  universally  esteemed  and  beloved  throughout  the  county."  Such 
was  the  description  of  the  deed  that  sent  fifteen  of  our  fellow  creatures  of  the  Al- 
mighty God  into  his  presence  without  warning  or  preparation  for  the  sum  of  five 
pounds  eight  shillings.  And  such  the  description  of  the  perpetrator  who  jumped 
off  from  his  horse  and  running  up  to  the  wretched  widow  who  was  supporting 
the  head  of  her  dying  son,  caught  her  by  the  shoulder  and  demanded,  "Will  you 
pay  now?"  and  on  receiving  some  unintelligible  answer,  drew  a  bible  from  hii 
pocket  to  swear  her  to  the  payment  at  such  a  moment.  This  man  did  not  throw 
down  the  thirty  pieces  of  silver  and  hang  himself,  quite  the  contrary— he  sat  down 
to  dinner  ihot  day,  rejoicing  in  his  work  of  blood,  ate,  drank,  rose  up,  wiped  hie 
mouth  and  said  I  have  doneno  wrong,  I  have  acted  legally.  He  was  right.  Thie 
b  the  legality  of  the  "  bloody  and  brutal"  government  of  England.

JUNE  6.  1798.  Well  fbueht  BATTLE  OF  ANTRIM,  the  gallant  Henry  Joy 
McCracken  commander,  'fne  Irish  advanced,  with  their  long  green  banneri, 
thebugleaand  fifea  playing,  and  the  United  Irishmen  sinffing  the  MarseUoii 
hymn  tn  chorus.  After  fighting  long  and  bravely  the  peoplt  were  defeated,  and 
the  gallant  McCracken  seized  and  hung  by  orders  of  the  barbaioua  English  gov- 
arnment.  _"  f  saw  him,"  said  one  of  his  noble  companions,  "as  he  marched  to 
the  field,  hU  loose  flowing  locks  were  confined  by  the  helm  which  shaded  the 
a>ch  of  his  manly  brow,  while  his  eye  beamed  with  the  fire  which  animated  hie 
Boul,pureas  the  breeze  from  his  native  mountain,  and  generous  as  the  floodi 
which  fertilize  the  valleys.  The  damps  of  theiiongeon  had  rendered  pallid  hit 
■iheek  and  less  robust  his  form,  but  the  vigour  of  his  mind  waa  uninjured  by  the 
granny  of  our  English  taskmasters.  I  saw  him  in  the  blaze  of  his  conquest— I 
saw  him  in  the  chill  of  defeat.  ■  I  witnessed  his  splendour  in  arms,  and  the  pride 
of  hia aoulin  distress.  Circumstancea  unavoidably  separated  us.  A  little  time, 
and  he  was  the  tenant  of  the  tomb !  When,  O,  when  shall  the  arbitrary  sway  of 
England  cease,  and  Ireland  rise,  great,  elorioua  and  free,  her  sons  united,  happy 
antlvictorious.    Then  will  such  a  sacrifice  not  have  been  offered  in  vain." 

The  proclamations  of  the  English  Colonel,  Derham,  to  the  inhabitanta  of  Bel-

Generals  Tryon^  Sterling,  and  Knyphausen.  The  Clergyman,  Mr.  Caldwell, 
was  a  brave  and  honest  patriot,  and  had  incurred  their  displeasure,  so  lie  had  to 
retreat;  but  they  wreaked  their  vengeance  on  his  poor  wife;  one  of  their  marks- 
men was  sent  to  her  window,  he  took  deliberate  aim,  and  ahe  fell  down  a  corpse 
in  th'i  midst  of  her  babies! ! !  Poor  Caldwell  1—1798,  James  O'Coii^ley,  a  brave 
Iriahman,  hanged  at  Maidstonr,  England,  then  beheaded,  his  remama  insulted, 
and  the  body  buriwi  in  quicklime  under  the  gallows,  this  waa  done  because  a  po- 
liceman had  accuaed  him  of  having  one  of  the  United  Irishmen'a  addresses  in  hii 
greixt-coat  pocket ! !  John  Allen,  John  Binns,  Arthur  OCotinor  and  Jeremiah 
L<Mty  were  tried  with  him,  for  treason,  but  were  cleared.— 1753,  Dr.  Archibald 
Cameron  of  Lochiel,  Scotland,  brother  of  the  Chief  of  the  clan,  hung  at  Tyburn, 
London  for  the  part  he  took  on  behalf  of  his  country  then  ground  to  the  dust  by, 
the  cruel  English  yoke.  The  sentence  of  King  George's  Judge  was  to  hang  him, 
draw  him  on  a  hurdle  to  the  gallows,  bis  heart  and  bowels  to  be  taken  out,  hit

JUNE  9.  1798,  United  Irishmen  of  Down  rise  in  arms.  BATTLE  OF 
NEWTONARDS.  between  them  and  the  York  fenciblcs  (English  tory  regi- 
ment) and  the  Irisn— the  English  retreat  to  Comber— no  prisoners  taken  on  ei- 
ther aide— many  slain— 1831,  Sir  John  Colborne's  relative  and  private  secretary 
and  recorder  of  treasons  against  the  Canadians,  Zachariah  Mudge,  blew  out  his 
braina  at  Toronto  with  a  pistol.  It  is  hard  to  keep  the  secret  doings  of  such  a 
barbarian  as  Colborne.  Mudse  had  about  ,t4000  a  year,  much  of  it  from  a  tax 
of  16  on  every  boy  and  girl  who  asked  license  to  marr}'. 

JUNE  10.  1838,  Messrs.  Theller  and  Dodge  arrive  at  Quebec,  handcufTod  and 
manacled;  and  are  insulted,  spat  upon  and  groaned  at  by  a  tory  mob,  until  they 
reach  the  fortress.— 1839,  The  John  Bull  uteamer,  worth  $90,000,  burnt  on  ths 
St.  Lawrence.— 1800,  Pope  Pius  excommunicates  Napcieon  Bonaparte.— 1837, 
THE  NEW  YORK  BANKS,  are  followed  by  all  the  other  Banks  in  the  United 
States  and  Upper  and  Lower  Canada,  become  insolvent,  and  refuse  to  pay  their 
bills,  bank  note.«.  or  the  money  deposited  in  trust  with  them.  Their  notes  and 
obligations  are  then  sold  for  what  they  would  fetch  in  the  market.  This  causea 
the  ruin  of  many  a  worthy  and  opulent  merchant.  One  cause  of  these  banks 
failing  was  the  refusal  of  the  Rank  of  Ensrland  to  c\itinue  to  credit  to  a  very 
large  amount  three  or  four  firms  in  London  connected  with  the  American  trade. 
So  it  was  proved  that  the  Banks  in  America  did  not  ask  credit  of  the  public  be- 
cause of  ttieir  capital  and  prudent  conduct,  but  because  they  depended  on  four 
London  traders  who  depended  on  the  Bank  of  England  to  lend  them  money  to 
meet  their  engagements. 

JUNE  12.  1798,  BATTLE  OP  BALLYNAHINCH,  north  of  Ireland.  The 
Catholics  and  Presbyterians  under  Monroe;  the  English  under  Generals  Nugent 
and  Barber ;  the  English  set  fire  to  the  whole  country  round ;  Monroe  had  few 
or  no  cannon ;  the  English  a  splendid,  well  served  park  of  artillery.  The  Battle 
continued  on  the  13th.  when  the  Irish,  after  displaying  the  greatest  valour,  were 
defeated.  TheEnglisn  pursued,  and  like  Colonel  Prince,  gave  no  ouaWer  to  their 
foe.  The  slaughter  of  Erin's  suns  was  terrible.  A  young  lady  of^  Ards  followed 
her  brother  and  her  lover  to  the  f  eld  in  which  they  atruegled  for  Old  Ireland's 
freedom— she  reached  Ednavady  heiehts— joined  the  embattled  ranks— love  sup- 
ported her  throush  the  perils  of  the  fight— out  borne  down  in  the  retreat  she  was 
slaughtered  by  the  bloody  English,  and  her  gallant  lover  and  her  brother  fell  at 
her  side.  O,  God  of  mercy,  love  and  goodness,  receive  these  sacrifices  accepta  - 
bijr,  and  hasten  to  crush  the  cruel  spoilers  of  thy  heritage!  May  the  sons  of 
Erin  yet  unite  to  repel  their  treacherous  hosts  from  the  sacred  soil. 

Though  slavery's  cloud  o'er  thy  morning  has  hung, 
The  full  tide  of  freedom  shall  beam  round  thee  yet. 

1838,  Mackenzie  indicted  at  Albany  for  setting  on  foot  an  expedition  at  BulTalo.— 
Mrs.  Lount,  widow  of  the  Martyr,  accuses  Chief  Justice  Robinson  of  being  in- 
strumental in  her  husband's  destruction,  "as  friend— co-patriot— traitor— and 
judge." 

JUNE  13.  1520,  Martin  Luther  excommunicated  by  the  Pope.— 1838,  Colo- 
nels Maitland  and  Wetherall  Knighted  by  Victoria  Ouelph,  for  tneir  barbarity  to 
the  innocent  Canodians. 

JUNE  14.  1798,  The  gallant  MONROE  elected  by  the  Irish  forces  in  the 
North  their  commander — takes  Ballynahinch-^is  defeated— taken— tried,  as 
they  try  people  in  Canada— by  Courts  Martial,  that  is  by  a  dozen  of  the  enemy 
selected  tor  the  purpose  of  conviction,  by  a  mockery  of  justice.  "  With  a  quick 
but  a  firm  step  and  undaunted  compoaure  he  Rscended  the  scaffold,  evidently 
more  desirous  to  meet  death  than  to  avoid  it.  He  waa executed  in  the  thirty-first 
year  of  hia  age.  at  the  front  of  his  own  house,  where  his  wife,  his  mother,  and  sis- 
ter resided.  His  head  was  severed  from  his  body,  and  exhibited  upon  the  mar>

Tiutihistory  of  the  world  affords  no  scenes  of  cruelty  equal  to  those  enacted  by 
the  barbarous  and  brutal  rulers  of  England.— 1777,  The  American  flag  chanced 
to  13  stripes,  red  and  white,  and  13  stirs  in  a  blue  field.— 1645,  Battlt^  of  Naaeby, 
Cromwell  and  Fairfax  defeat  Charles  1st,  with  sreat  slaughter.— 1800,  Battle  of 
MarengOi  the  Austrians  swept  off  the  board  by  Napoleon.— 1807,  Battle  of  Fried- 
land;  Napoleon  defeats  the  Russians. 

JUNE  16.  1776,  Weshington  elected  by  ballot  of  Congress,  unanimously, 
commander-in-chief  of  the  American  Armies.— 1810,  Wm.  Cobbett  convicted  m 
the  London  King's  Bench  Court  of  libel,  for  animadverting  on  the  flogging  of 
English  militiamen  by  German  mercenaries— fined  jCIOOO,  and  imprisoned  two 
years. 

JUNE  16.  1758,  BANK  OF  VIENNA  estitblished  by  the  Empress  Maris 
Theresa.  It  isnued  12  millions  of  florins  for  which  her  lubjects  gave  service,  grain, 
beef,  merchandize  and  labour,  although  the  paper  florins  had  cost  nothing.  She  then 
issued  more  paper  to  the  common  people  and  paid  her  debts  with  these llorin  premi- 
ses. The  Gold  and  Silver  left  Aastria,  of  course,  and  in  1797  the  Bank  stopt,  and 
their  tilstes  were  ordered  by  the  Emperor  to  be  taken  in  payment  of  all  debu !  In 
1810,  the  Austrian  Oovernmenthad  1000  millions  afloat  among  the  people,  who  offered 
13  florins  of  this  royal  paper  for  one  of  silver.  In  1611,  government  became  so 
thoroughly  insolvent  tha*  it  ordered  5  of  the  florins  it  had  issued  as  equal  to  silver, 
to  pass  for  one  of  silver.  Thus  paying  20  cents  to  the  dollar,  or  1000  millions  with

which  i«  down  to  185  paper  florins  for  100  in  silver.  It  is  remarkable  that  no  expe- 
rience will  teach  the  people  that  when  paper  is  issued  for  money  it  will  end  in  plun- 
dering them.

within  the  entrenchment. — 1689,  Battle  of  KilUcrankie,  Claverhouse  killed. 

JUNE  18.  1838,  The  bill  to  do  away  Imprisonment  for  Debt  in  cases  under  the 
j  urisdiction  of  the  United  States  Courts,  was  passed  almost  unanimously  in  the  Se- 
nate of  the  U.  S.  The  other  house  of  congress  paid  no  attention  to  tlie  matter,  al- 
though mauy  may  be  suffering  from  this  neglect 

1812,  WAR  AGAINST  ENGLAJJD.— The  United  States,  after  suffering  for 
many  years  every  possible  insult  and  injury  which  the  pride  of  England  could  inflict, 
declared  war  against  her.  The  vote  in  the  Senate  was  19  to  13,  and  in  the  House  of 
Representatives  79  to  49 ;  in  all  98  yeas  to  62  pays.  Josiah  Quincy,  and  the  other 
leaders  of  tlie  rich  merchants,  bankers,  traders,  money  lenders,  and  that  class  gene- 
rally who  wished  a  more  splendid  government,  had  voted  for  every  measure  of  Mr. 
Madison's  government  predicated  upon  a  war,  to  enlist  men  and  prepare  the  army 
and  navy,  but  when  the  vote  '.vas  taken,  these  leaders,  voted  in  the  negativ^i.  The 
federal  presses,  their  orators,  the  N.  York  and  Boston  merchants,  even  the  clergj*, 

goaded  the  nation  into  war  and  urged  on  England  to  continue  her  oppressions — but 
le  moment  these  same  federalists  saw  America  involved  in.  war  they  raised  up  'o 
peace  party,  and  never  ceased  to  embarrass  the  eovernment  threateniue  and  insult- 
ing all  who  loaned  it  money,  and  their  priests  ^nouncing  from  the  pulpit  all  who 
wor.ld  dare  to  maintain  the  honor  and  amity  of  these  United  States.  I  do  not  mean 
tb  »t  all  the  federalists  did  this — far  from  it — I  say,  the  leaders  of  that  party  and  ma- 
ny who  joined  them — all  who  lusted  for  unlawful  power  and  hated  free  institutions^ — 
did  so — and  it  appears  thttt  of  theie  leaders  many  were,  like  Aaron  Burr  and  B.  Ar 
nold,  at  heart  enemies  to  liberty.  Thirty-four  of  theee  tories,  in  c,  ngress,  signed  an 
inflammatory  protest  addressed  to  the  people  of  America,  and  as  a  w^iole  this  war 

Earty  in  peace  and  peace  party  in  war  did  mors,  against  their  country  than  all  the 
ayonets  and  fleets  of  England.  These  protestors  were  f^  Brigham,  Bigelow,

kin,  Quincy.  Reed,  Ridgley,  SuUivan,  Stewart,  Sturges,  Tallmadge,  Tageart,  White, 
Wilson,  Wheaton.  The  peace  party  and  their  dupes  finally  compelled  me  nation  to 
conclude  the  war  without  gaining  one  object  for  which  it  was  undertaken ;  and  have 
since  succeeded  in  spreading  monopolies  all  over  the  Union  to  the  injury  of  sound 
morality  and  the  disgrace  of  the  Christian  name.  The  bead  quarters  of  these  trai- 
tors was  Boston,  then  the  richest  city  of  the  Union.  The  Banks  collected  all  the  spe- 
cie diey  could  drSw  from  other  parts  of  the  Union;  the  English  government  seat  its

their  defenceless  brethren  on  the  frontier.  Such  has  the  spirit  of  commerce  ever 
been  when  incited  by  monopoly — such  will  it  ever  be  while  banks  are  allowed  to  is- 
sue paper  and  call  it  money.  At  the  close  of  the  war  die  government  was  in  trouble 
and  out  of  means,  but  the  Jews,  federahsts.and  bankers  ot  Boston  were  overflowing 
witii  wealth,  and  had  bonds  on  the  nation  for  vast  sums,  lent  on  the  most  grinding  and 
usurious  tenns. — 1815,  Batde  of  Waterloo.  England,  Russia.-  Prussis,  Austria, 
Sweden,  combine  to  put  down  Napoleon  the  angel  of  revolution,  and  are  successful. 
— 1839,  In  the  Britisti  House  of  Commons,  Mr.  Orote's  modon  to  vote  by  ballot  a(

1631,  NEWTONBARRY  MASSACRE.— ^jme  cattle  of  Patrick  Doyle's  wWeh 
had  been  taken  illegally  for  tithe  were  exposed  for  sale,  for  the  benefit  of  the  parson, 
and  150  yeomanry  and  police  collected,  armed  wtth  mnskett  and  ball  cartridge,  to 
enforce  the  holy  claim  by  Lord  Famham's  agent,  and  Capt.  Graham.  When  the  cat- 
tle were  set  up  to  aucdon  there  was  great  grumbling,  and  some  of  the  youths  cried 
out  against  the  act  On  this  the  English  Orange  power  opened  a  dreadful  fire  upon 
the  poor  fanners  and  labourers,  killed  almost  thirty  honest  Irishmen,  wounded  many, 
and  drove  several  into  the  Slaney,  where  they  were  drowned.  Redress  was  out  of 
the  question.    When  did  Irishmen  get  justice  from  an  Bnglith  government? 

1643,  JOHN  HAMPDEN  died  on  a  Sunday  morning  of  wounds  received  a  few 
days  before  at  the  head  of  his  regiment  at  the  oatde  of  Chalerove  Field,  near  his 
birth  place.  He  withstood  tyranny  and  was  in  public  and  private  life — under  all 
circumstances — a  most  excellent  and  eminent  man,  as  ever  England  or  any  country 
produced.  A  royal  tyrant  imposed  on  him  a  tax  equal  to  $5  illegally — he  resisted  on 
principle  at  the  expense  of  thousands  of  pounds,  and  the  consequence  was  the  pros- 
tration of  die  monarchy. 

JUNE  19.  1216,  Magna  Charta,  or  a  charter  of  rights  granted  to  the  barons  of 
England  unwillingly  by  King  John,  at  Kunnemede,  for  the  benefit  of  community. — 
1834,  The  Tory  Wesleyan  Methodist  Conference  of  England  suspend  the  celebra- 
ted Joseph  Raynor  Stephens  from  preaching,  because  he  had  committed  the  sins  of 
announcing  from  the  pulpit  a  peution  to  parliament  for  a  separation  of  church  and 
state,  and  attended  a  public  meeting  at  Oldham  to  obtain  that  object.  {Stc  Minute* 
qf  Conference.) 

JUNE  20.  1837,  ROYALTY.— William  4th,  tyrant  of  England,  called  to  his  last 
account  by  death.  Victoria  proclaimed.—  National  Debt,  cosUy  royalty.  Houses  of 
Peers,  glory  and  "  the  credit  system"  or  making  the  paper  of  bankrupt  banks  pass  as 
if  it  were  money,  has  brought  England,  Scotland  and  Ireland,  their  24,306,719  inhabi- 
tans  to  this  condition,  viz.  all  die  people  have  to  labour  very  unremittingly,  day  by 
day  and  year  after  year,  for  a  subsistence — they  must  do  it — all  except  275,204  per- 
sons belonging  to  the  higher  classes,  nobility,  capitalists,  bankers,  &c.  Of  these  favo- 
rites of  "the  credit  system,"  179,983  reside  in  England,  5,204  in  Wales,  29,203  in 
Scodand,  and  61,514  in  Ireland.  Nearly  100  persons  are  reduced  next  door  to  slave- 
ry, many  below  it.  to  uphold  one  of  these  in  splendor !  Thc^se  facts  are  from  Mar- 
shall's Stadsdcs.  paid  for  by  a  parliamentary  grant. — 1813,  Sir  James  Yeo  with  the 
Lake  Ontario  fleet  landed  off  Sodus,  N.  Y.,  took  all  the  flour,  and  then  set  fire  to  the 
village  of  Sodus  and  burnt  it  to  the  ground.  , 

JUNE  21.  1839,  WILLIAM  L.  MACKENZIE  tried  yesterday  and  to-day 
before  Smith  Thompson  and  Alfred  Conklin,  U.  S.  Judges,  at  Canandaigua,  charged 
with  beginning,  am  providing  the  means  for  an  expedition  against  the  English  power 
in  Canada,  from  Buffalo,  Dec,  1837.  N.  S,  Benton,  U.  S.  Attorney.  The  Juiy  were 
Dr.  Otis  Fuller,  Naples,  Alfred  Nichols,  do.,  William  Carter,  East  Bloomfield,  An- 
/'.rew  Rowley,  Victor,  Ezra  Newton,  Hopewell,  Jacob  Salpaugh,  Manchester,  D. 
Benton  Pitts,  Richmond,  Seth  Gates,  Phelps,  Moses  Black,  Seneca,  James  P.  Stan- 
ton, Gorham,  Valentine  Stoddard,  Canadice,  Booth  P.  Fairchild,  Canandaigua.^ 
Judge  Thompson  charged  the  Jury  strongly  against  Mackenzie,  and  they  found  a 
verdict  accordingly.  He  was  sentenced  to  18  months  confinement  in  Monroe  County 
Jail,  and  fined  ten  dollars.  N.  S.  Bentt  n  conducted  the  prosecution  for  the  U.  S. — 
The  States  evidence  were  Jos.  B.  Latlirop,  Ex-Police  Justice  Barton,  Ex-Sherifi* 
Lester  Brace,  Michener  Cadwallader.  (editor  of  the  Journal,)  Wm.  C.  Hoyt,  all  of 
Buffalo,  and  Christophr'^  Smith,  late  custom  house  officer,  Niagara  Falls.  They  were 
most  willing  witnesses.  The  Judge  said  that  the  conviction  left  no  stain  on  Mac- 
kenzie's moral  character ;  and  he  made  the  same  remark  when  sentencine  Van  Rens- 
selaer aAewards.    So  then  there  are  political  oftisnces  in  the  U.  S.  Statute  Book  which

The  laws  of  Congreu  go  beyond  the  turn  of  the  ten  coramandinenu. 

1639,  OEORGB  WASHINGTON  CASE,  of  Hamilton,  Canada,  tried  on  a  •!• 
milar  charge  to  Mackenzie's.  It  was  proved  that  he  had  e  abncribed  or  aaid  he  gave 
$60  in  aid  of  an  expedition  intended  against  the  Canada  Tories,  which  was  broke  jp 
by  the  cowardice  of  those  connected  with  it.  Mr.  Garrow  the  marshal,  and  his  depu- 
ty, Malcolm,  were  the  chief  states  evidence,  of  his  admissions  when  in  their  custody. 
— JndgeaConklin  and  Thompson  gave  him  13  months  in  jail  and  $20  fine. 

1838,  Sir  G.  Arthur  issues  a  proclamation  for  the  persons  engaged  in  the  Short 
Hills  expedition,  near  Niagara  Falls,  stops  the  ferries,  and  states  that  the  patriou 
had  defeated  a  detachment  of  militia,  6lc.,  that  day. 

JUNE  22.  1812,  Napoleon  declared  war  asainst  Russia. — 1807,  The  American 
frieate  Chesapeake  sailed  from  Norfolk.  Va. — the  English  ship  Leopard  overtook  her 
ana  demanded  four  sailors,  which  Commodore  Barron  refused  to  ffive  up.  In  con* 
sequence  Uie  Leopard  attacked  the  Chesapeake,  in  a  time  of  profound  peace,  and 
wholly  unprepared  for  resistance.  Three  Americans  were  killed  and  16  wounded, 
including  the  Commodore,  who  struck  the  American  flag,  and  the  English  Captain 
sent  ail  officer  on  board  the  Chesapeake,  seized  four  of  her  crew,  had  one  tried  at 
Halifax  and  hanged — another  died  in  close  confinement — the  3rd  and  4th  were  de- 
tained 5  years  and  then  restored  to  their  country.  The  3  last  named  sailors  were  na- 
tive Americans. — 1679,  Battle  of  Bothwell  Bridge,  Scotland — the  persecuted  pres- 
byterians  defeated  by  the  royalists,  and  hundreds  murdered  in  cold  olood. 

JUNE  23.  1817,  James  Watson,,  sen'r.  This  'twood,  Preston  and  Hooper,  ar- 
raigned before  Lord  Ellenboro'  for  tieason,  and  acquitted.  Castles,  the  government 
witness,  was  proved  to  be  an  infamous  character  and  a  hired  spy. — 46  Englishmen 
were  soon  after  indicted  at  Derby  for  hiffh-treason. — 1 836,  The  Act  regulating  the 
Deposites  of  the  national  revenue,  and  that  it  be  placed  in  state,  district,  and  territo- 
rial Banks,  passed.  In  May,  1837,  said  Banks  become  bankrupt  all  over  the  Union, 
when  indebted  30  millions  to  the  nation. 

JUNE  24.  1314,  BATTLE  OF  BANNOCKBURN.  Scotland.  The  English 
king  had  invaded  and  conquered  all  Scotland  except  the  highlands ;  had  taken  priso- 
ner and  cruelly  murdered  the  gallant  Sir  William  Wallace,  the  Chainpion  of  his 
country,  and  cut  up  his  body  into  four  quarters,  as  tlie  English  Viceroy  Colborne  did 
with  the  gallant  Chenier's  body  at  St.  Eusuche,  1837,  when  the  Scotch  resolved  to 
be  free  or  die  in  the  attempt,  met  the  English  power  at  Bannockbum,  and  after  a 
bloody  struggle  recovered  tneir  country  and  drove  their  English  tyrants  out  of  it,  at 
I  trust  the  Canadians  will  also  do  before  long.  This  battle  gave  occasion  for  Bums' 
beautiful  ballad  of  "  Scou  wha  hae  wi'  Wallace  bled  !"— 1837,  The  whig  Lord  Lieu- 
tenant, Marquis  of  Normanby,  issues  an  order  denouncing  orange  processions  as  a 
public  nuisance. — 1837,  The  Duke  of  Cumberland,  Grand  Master  of  the  Orange- 
men of  Ireland,  and  uncle  to  Queen  Victoria,  becomes  King  of  Hanover,  and  since 
that  time  destroys  the  free  constitution  of  that  country,  as  the  English  pi..  ,ided  re- 
form government  had  done  to  Canada. — 1815,  Napoleon  surrendered  to  Capt.  Mait- 
land  of  the  Bellerophon,  and  arrived  in  Torbav.  He  was  afterwards  cruelly  banished 
without  cause  to  a  rock  in  the  ocean,  by  England,  and  tliere  died.— 1781,  General 
Wayne's  armv  and  an  Indian  Chief  and  his  tribe  fieht  a  battle  with  uncommon  bra- 
very. The  chief  and  17  warriors  fell ;  the  rest  took  to  flight  Twelve  were  overta- 
ken, bro- jht  back,  and  we  reeret  to  tell  it,  put  to  death  in  cold  blood  by  the  General's 
orders.     The  Indians  at  Sandwich  lately  acted  a  better  part. 

JUNE  25.  1839.  TRIALS  of  Dr.  Edward  A.  Theller  and  General  Donald 
McLeod  at  Detroit,  before  Judge  Wilkins,  whose  conduct  is  represented  as  having 
been  fair  and  manly — very  different  from  that  of  Judge  Thompson  at  Canandaigua. 
The  defendants  were  acquitted  of  the  charge,  which  was  the  same  in  substance  as 
that  against  Mackenzie  and  Case.  The  indictments  against  Col's  Dodge  and  Brophy 
given  up.— 1838.  The  House  of  Represenutives  at  Washington,  by  a  vote  of  125 
noes  to  111  ayes,  refused  to  provide  the  nation  with  Treasury  vaults,  in  suitable  pla- 
ces, for  the  public  revenue,  so  that  the  banks  could  not  borrow  and  waste  it — 1776, 
Batde  of  Cnarleston. 

1798,  Abominable  Alien  Law.  This  day  the  elder  Adams  approved  of  a  law 
of  congress  giving  to  the  president  for  the  time  being  the  power  to  banish  from  the 
United  States  any  or  all  aliens  (every  body  except  American  Citizens !)  then  in  the 
republic  or  who  might  enter  the  same  whose  residence  he  might  dislike,  or  whom  he 
might  suspect  of  unreasonable  opposition  to  his  government ;  and  if  such  alien  or 
aliens  did  not  depart  forthwith  (unless  licensed  to  stay  by  the  president)  he  or  diey 
were  to  be  sent  to  jail  not  more  than  three  years ;  in  all  this  there  was  to  be  no  jury 
trial ;  the  presideat  decided.    Aliens  thus  dmrnmed  out  of  the  country  might  take  as

returned  to  Canada  to  be  tried— of  the  latter  16,  six  were  members  of  the  le^^la* 
ture— in  a  f->w  days  after  Dr.  Nelson  and  seven  others  were  banished.  The  SpVB' 
cial  Council  to  make  this  law  was  appointed  at  11  o'clocK  same  day,  and  the  tA*^' 
dinanee  passed  at  12 ! !  Not  one  of  them  was  connected  with  Canada— they  wer%  ^ 
C.  Buller,  Col.  Cowper,  Admiral  Paget,  General  McDonell  and  Col.  Grey. 

JUNE  29.  1837.  Nathaniel  Macun  of  North  Carolina,  died  at  Buck  Spring.— 
He  was  an  incorruptible  patriot.  He  voted  for  the  last  war,  but  against  appro- 
priation  bills  to  uphold  it,  which  had  rascally  measures  of  a  difTerenl  description 
tacked  to  them.  He  was  a  ^Senator  for  N.  C.  and  greatly  beloved  by  John  Raa- 
doiph  for  his  sterling  integrfiy  and  wiadom.  He  was  long  the  leader  of  the  demo- 
eracy  in  Congress.  He  suppiorted  Jefferson,  Jackson,  and  Van  Buren,  voting  for 
the  latter  for  President.  He  considered  the  usurpations  of  the  Supreme  Court  at 
Washington  the  eflfoct  of  its  irresponsibility  to  the  people,  and  the  perpetual  aala- 
ries  of  its  members ;  he  ascribed  the  corrupt  legislation  of  congress  to  the  six  years 
independence  of  the  senate  and  the  two  yearslioliday  of  the  house  of  representa- 
tives—and would  have  substituted  aimual  elections, — 1836,  Dreadful  riota  at  the 
Leeda,  U.  C,  Election,  by  the  Orange  party,  who  drove  the  legally  elected  candi- 
datea  from  the  poll,  and  returned  Jameson,  Attorney  General  (nuioandof  the  an- 
thoress,)  and  O.  R.  Gowan. 

JUNE  30.  1686,  The  Earl  of  Argyla  beheaded  tor  attempting  to  deliver  Scot- 
land from  wicked  government. — 1829,  The  TariiF  Bill,  a  baae  scheme  to  obtain 
many  millions  yearly  out  of  the  induatry  of  the  people,  for  purposes  of  corruption, 
under  the  control  of  the  party  in  the  majority  for  the  time  being,  burnt  by  the  peo- 
ple of  Columbia,  S.  C,  with  the  eAgies^f  Clay  and  Webster  its  advocatea. 

1838,  The  hyMeritical  Lord  Durhtas  invites  ADAM  THOM,  Editor  of  the  Man-  j 
treal  Herald,  to  his  table  and  seats  him  at  his  Council  Beard.  Thorn  had  otganized  ' 
the  Doric  Club,  a  society  fbimed  to  exterminate  the  Canadians.  Five  months  before 
he  had  also  preposed  to  punish  the  Canadians  for  their  love  of  independence,  thus  :— 
"  The  punishment  of  the  leaders,  however  agreeable  it  might  be  to  the  British  mhabi- 
tanta,  would  not  make  so  deep  and  so  useful  an  impression  on  the  people  as  the  light  of 
rtrangtfarmtrt  uttltd  on  thtfarm  of  each  agitator  in  each  Parish.  The  sight  t£  the 
widew  and  orphan  hawking  their  wretchedness  around  those  wealthy  houses  of  which 
they  should  b*  dispossessM  would  have  a  good  effect.  We  must  not  hesitate  ia  the 
exeeuii'iTt  of  this  project.  Speeial  Commissioners  should  mstantly  be  named  with  tn- 
atnietions  to  terminate  the  tnals  of  this  batch  of  traitors  at  present  in  prison.  It  is  ri- 
diculous to  fatten  fellows  all  the  winter  for  the  gailows."

the  juices  of  the  stalk  in  the  gavel  than  standing.  Grain  cut  earlv,  will  yield  more

in  the  snnshineof  royal  bounty,  Butler  and  Brandt,  the  latter  a  half  Indian,  nrgatifsed 
400  Indians  and  1200  YankeeTories  (the  sires  of  the  b<*ggar  bankers),  and  marched 
for  Wyoming  on  the  Susquehannah,  Pa.  They  took  possession  of  the  country,  about 
40  miles  square,  and  murdered  in  cold  blood  and  unresisting  upwards  of  254)0  men, 
women  and  children !  Historians  unite  in  this  fart,  that  the  Indians  were  far  more 
gentle  than  tie  Yankee  Royalists,  who  destroyed,  burnt  up,  and  completely  devas- 
tated the  whole  country.  Their  descendants  are  yet  numerous  in  Canada,  and  a* 
cruel  as  ever.  A*  Wyoming  "  men,  women  and  cnildren  were  locked  up  in  the  hou- 
ses, and  left  to  mingle  their  cries  and  screams  with  the  Hames  that  seemed  to  mock 
the  power  of  an  avenging  Gkxl."  The  fields  of  corn  were  burnt  up  and  the  tongue* 
of  horses  and  cattle  cut  out.  As  England,  her  holy  bishops  and  sanctified  monarch, 
(head of  Chrisr.'s  Church!)  defender  of  the  faith,  paid  a  large  price  for  each  white 
man's  scalp,  the  Indians  were  also  incited  by  the  hope  of  gam.  As  at  Wyoming  so 
in  Ireland,  St  Eustache,  St.  Charles,  Beauharaois.  the  Banks  of  the  Ganges,  and  the 
plain  of  Peterloo;  English  barbarity  and  cmeltv  outdoes  and  exceeds  all  the  other 
records  in  the  creation  of  God. — 1691,  Takius  of  Athlone. — 1776,  Congress  appoint 
Messrs.  Jefferson,  Adams,  R.  Sherman,  Fraiutlin  and  R.  R.  Livingston,  a  committee 
(by  ballot)  to  draft  the  declaration  of  independence. 

JULY  2.  1800,  IRISH  UNION.— A  bill  received  the  royal  assent  to  suppress 
ky  bribery  and  fraud  the  Irish  parliament,  destroy  the  independence  of  that  na- 
tion, unite  its  priesthood  with  that  of  England,  as  the  supreme  dominant  episcopalian 
church,  the  Irish  aristocracy  to  send  28  of  their  lords  to  the  London  parliament  to 
vote  with  300  English  lords,  and  Dublin,  like  Edinburgh,  to  be  degraded.  All  this 
to  go  into  eflicct  Jan.  1,  1801. — 1807,  Inconsequence  ot  the  daring  insult  offered  to 
the  United  States  bv  the  capture  of  the  Chesapeake  by  an  English  man  of  war.  Pre- 
sident Jefferson  orders  all  British  ships  to  beeone  out  of  the  Poru  of  the  U.  S. 

JULY  3.  1838,  The  BANK  OF  VICKSBURGH,  Mississippi,  received  a  Char- 
ter and  was  organized  by  the  payment  into  its  vaults  of  two  half-eagles.  tllO  in  sil- 
ver,and  tlOO.OOO  In  the  notes  of  thecanal  and  bankine  Co.  ofNew  Orleans,  borrowed 
for  the  purpose  and  duly  returned.  The  bank  capital,  therefore,  was  just  9120 ;  and 
the  directors  reported  their  own  notes  to  the  Bank  Commissioners  as  specie,  which 
they  credited  without  examination.  The  Bank  bought  pork  in  large  quantities  at 
Cincinnati  at  13  to  14  dollars,  and  sold  it  at  New  Orleans  at  $27 — they  raised  the  price 
i4  at  Cincinnati — paving  with  checks  on  themselves,  not  to  be  presented  for  several 
weeks,  or  until  they  had  sold  the  pork  and  got  the  cash.  They  soon  went  to  Davy's 
Locker,  and  their  shares  are  now  worth  only  34. — 1608,  Quebec  founded. — 1839,  Dr. 
Fletcher,  in  the  democratic  convention  sitting  at  Birmingham,  proposes  to  run  the 
Banks,  including  the  Savines  Banks,  as  these  establishments  furnish  the  most  power- 
ful means  to  crush  and  mislead  public  opinion,  and  that  too  chiefly  at  the  common 
people's  cost.  The  proposal  was  agreed  to. — 1814,  Fort  Erie  surrenders  to  the  Ame- 
ricans under  General  Brown. 

JULY  4.  1836,  Mr.  Mackenzie  issues  the  first  number  of  "  The  Constitution,"  a 
republican  Journal,  for  an  article  published  in  which  the  government,  hnmediately 
before  the  revolt,  resolved  to  arrest  him  for  high  treason  and  crush  him. — "ttie  Re- 
formers of  U.  C.  defeated  at  the  Elections,  by  the  purchase  of  the  Methodist  Con- 
ference leaders  by  Sir  F.  Head  and  Lord  Glenelg. 

REVEREND  EGERTON  RYERSON,  TORONTO.— His  father,  if  we  mi*- 
take  not,  was  from  the  U.  S.,  a  refugee  to  Nova  Scotit ,  from  whence  he  removed  to 
U.  C.  and  was  made  a  Colonel  of  Militia,  and  Justice  of  the  Peace.  Egerton  was 
reared  for  the  Methodist  Church,  and  introduced  into  public  life  by  W.  L.  Mackenzie, 
to  whom  he  had  submitted  a  severe  criticism  on  one  of  fe^rachan's  Sermons,  in  April 
1826.  Mr.  M.  gave  it  extensive  circulation,  and  Ryerson  and  his  brother  William 
became  known  to  community  as  thorough  republicans.  The  Methodists  soon  after- 
wards concluded  to  publish  a  Conference  paper,  in  which,  by  mixing  up  religion  and 
methodism  with  Canadian  politics,  thev  could  add  to  their  influence,  and  Rverson 
was  chosen  as  its  editor.  He  was  ultra-liberal,  praised  the  U.  States  as  the  Lest  of 
all  human  governments ;  and  acting  with  Mackenzie,  Bidwell,  Rolph  and  otliers,  ex- 
erted a  strong  influence  over  the  public  milnd.  Often  have  we  heard  him  and  his 
brother  William  express  anxiety  for  the  arrival  of  the  hour  in  which  English  power 
would  be  crushed  forever  in  Canada.  Messrs.  Papineau  and  Viger's  career  he  stea- 
dily defended,  like  Dalton  of  the  Patriot.  In  1833  he  went  to  England  on  ynritual 
business,  where  Mr.  Mackenzie  intrpdaced  him  to  Messrs.  E.  Ellice,Hume  and  other 
eminent  men.  This  introducdoaliip  artfully  useid  to  injnre  the  reform  interest;  was 
taken  in  tow  by  Stanley  and  Glenelb  ^d  by  Rev.  Jabez  Bunting  and  the  other  vio' 
lent  tory  preachers  who  rule  the  *W«fl«J*iT  Conferences  there ;     "    '

England ;  alandered  his  old  rrforming  friends  ;  carried  a  m^ority  of  the  methodiit 
preachers  in  Conference  with  him ;  held  out  the  hope  to  them  of  pecuniary  benefit 
to  their  order,  independent  of  the  people,  and  of  a  tlo.OOO  grant  ot  money  promised 
him  by  Qleneig  to  a  College  at  Cobourg  which  they  had  tried  to  entablish,  in  order  to 
have  the  direction  of  Education ;  and  obuined  the  active  and  zealous  co-operation 
of  the  whole  conference  at  the  last  U.  C.  election  of  a  legislature,  to  crush  the  reform 
miU<"^ty  who  had  stood  up  so  manfully  for  a  domestic,  frugal,  responsible  govern- 
ment. It  was  owing  to  the  selfish  and  mercenary  influence  of  the  brothers  Ryerson, 
Ephraim  Evans,  witli  the  Conference  press,  the  Christian  Quardian  under  their  con- 
trol, that  the  reformers  lost  the  elections.  E|erton  Rverson.  then  in  England,  wu 
unwearied  in  his  efforts  to  promote  Sir  Francu  Head  s  interest  agaiiut  that  of  the 
people,  as  his  leuere  and  conduct  fatally  show.  •••*••••  It  wu 
welt  known  that  if  the  reformers  again  carried  the  elections,  and  continued  united 
in  principle  with  L.  C,  the  Enslish  Government  would  eive  way.  Head  he  recalled, 
.nA  •<  responsible  ffovernment,    aye  Independence,  ^ieMed  to  the  Canadas  without 


bloodshea — and  Hisad  in  his  Narradve  frankly  admita  that  auch  would  have  been 
the  inevitable  resulu  had  he  failed,  (p.  420  narrative),  which  he  would  have  done  had 
Ryerson  not  been  purchased ;  for  all  the  powers  of  official  corruption  would  have 
proved  far  too  weak,  unless  backed  by  the  alien  itinerant  Wesleyaii  leaders,  their 
political  and  relicious  journal,  and  thousands  who  believed  whatever  they  chose  to 
assert  The  defection  of  the  brothers  Ryerson  brought  on  the  bloodshed  of  Dec 
1637;  encouraged  the  English  government  in  a  violent,  merciless  career;  and  the 
$16,000  to  theirpolitical  academy  was  duly  paid ;  but  the  jealousy  of  Strachan  and 
the  Church  ef  England  priesthood  prevented  the  slice  of  the  Clersy  Reserves  from 
eoming  to  them,  and  at  length  Sir  Francis  cut  Ryerson,  who,  afVer  jBidwell  had  been 
banished  for  his  conduct  in  the  early  stage  of  the  revolt,  suddenly  took  up  his  cause, 
and.  as  nothing  is  to  be  got  from  the  tories  now,  he  joins  W.  H.  Merritt  and  other 
greedy  and  selfish  monopolists  in  crvinff  out  for  the  "  responsible  |pveriunent"  hit 
venal  pen  and  lying  tongue  had  enoDled  Head  so  effectually  to  withhold.  He  and 
his  friends  see  monopoly  Banks,  Canals,  Railroads,  Loans,  Turnpikes,  Internal  Im- 
provements, a  public  debt  of  millions,  and  ti  party  dividing  the  spoils,  as  the  gr&nd 
prise  in  the  lottery  of  events ;  atul  under  an  independent  government  such  aa  he  will 
ever  be  found,  sleek  and  fat,  smooth  and  plausible,  on  the  side  where  most  plunder 
nan  be  had ;  clothed  with  a  pretended  affection  for  the  people,  and  a  hypocritical  pe- 
titioning for  that  divine  direction  which  the  mereenaiy  votaries  of  |iIammon  secreidy 
ridicule  and  despise.  One  of  Ryerson's  brothers,  George,  led  the  reformers  and 
methodista  and  joined  Mr.  Irving,  and  the  unknown  tongues.  He  has  a  chapel  of 
that  order  in  Toronto,  and  is  a  tory  of  the  first  water.  He  is  connected  wiui  Dr. 
Rolph  by  marriage,  having  wedded  hia  sister.  Egerton  Ryerson  knows  full  well 
that  Colonel  Young  of  Balston,  in  his  famous  letter  of  July,  1836,  was  about  right  in 
asserting  that  under  a  republican  form  of  government,  "  a  demagogue  of  tfu  prt' 
"tent  (My,  backed  by  a  diaeiplined lobby  and  a  fexB  mercenary  presses,  can  rifle 
"  more  plunder  from  tne  unborn,  than  ever  surrounded  the  car  of  a  Roman  general." 
Defeated  on  one  tack  he  has  shifted  to  another  which  he  hopes  to  make  more  profita- 
ble. Mr.  Hume,  M.  P.  of  London,  publicly  declared  in  the  House  of  Commons 
that  in  the  course  of  a  Ions  political  life  he  had  never  met  with  any  one  so  utterly 
worthless  and  unprineiplea  as  Egerton  Ryerson.    The  writer  knows  that  frank  Un- 

Suage  like  this  makes  enemies,  -and  did  he  look  forward  to  please  parties  in  order  to 
11  some  high  office  in  the  state  he  would  be  silent.  But  it  never  ought  to  be  for^t- 
Mn  in  Canaida  that  when  Ryerson  came  back  from  London  hired  to  sow  dissension 
among  the  methodist  people — till  then  the  bravest  of  reformers— he  proclaimed,  that 
acting  on  his  advice  X^"  I^  >>  <">  secret  that  tlie  exertions  of  the  late  Editor  of  the 
{^Guardian  and  otfur$  connected  wiik  him  TURNED  THE  SCALE  in  favor 
jpfof  the  government  at  the  late  elections."  On  whose  hea^  is  the  blood  that  was 
shed  in  a  constitutional  resistance  of  that  faithless  and  merciless  government?

one  trial  more  of  a  settlrmcnt  by  neffociniion  should  be  made. — 1830,  A  Christian 
legislature  in  New  Jersey  aboiisned  imprisonment  for  debt  in  that  state,  in  honor  of 
Independence  day. —  laS-l,  The  Kingdoms  of  Scotland  and  France  unite  against  the

JULY  5.  1830,  ALGIERS  taken.  The  French  find  an  immense  treasure  In  it, 
also  1500  pieces  of  ordnance  and  12  ships  of  war.  Much  noise  wss  made  about 
Algerinc  cruelty,  but  London  is  a  far  worse  nest  of  pirates,  robbers  and  freebooters 
than  ever  Algiers  was,  and  Victoria  Guelph  and  her  Melbourne  crew  a  viler  band 
than  the  Deyand  hishnrcm. — 177!<,  The  English  Royal  forces  land  at  New  Haven, 
Conn.,  wasto  and  destroy  property,  and  wantonly  cut  out  tlie  toigue  of  an  infirm  old 
dtizen. — 1814,  The  Americans  defeat  the  forces  of  the  tyrants  of  England,  who  re-

JULY  6.  1838,  Nelson  C.  Reynolds,  son  of  Bishop  Reynolds,  Belleville,  tried  at

4  places  of  worsliip,  162  dwelling  houses,  142  barns,  69  store  houses,  4  mills,  and 
much  shipping.  People  of  America,  your  cause  and  that  of  Canada  is  one.  If  the 
Canadians  arc  enslaved  through  your  apathy,  hope  not  toescap'?  the  punishment  your 
«elfi»hness  will  have  merited.  Remember,  yc  are  brethren- — 1809,  Battle  of  Wa-

liter  a  long  imprisoumeiit. — 1838.  Honble.  Peter  Robinson  died  at  Toronto.  This 
loyal  leech  was  brother  to  the  Chief  Justice — was  elected  member  of  the  Canada 
Legislature  for  York  County,  and  succeeded  by  Mackenzie.  He  was  once  n  great 
(fformer,  but  sold  the  cause  for  money.  In  1819  he  voted  for  a  law  to  make  it  rrimi 
lal  for  Canadians  to  meet  and  complain  of  grievances — he  cot  many  offices,  and  yet, 

OOO  dollars  a  year  proved  insufficient  for  his  and  the  family's  rapacity — he  Swart- 

outed  $80,000  of  uie  public  money  entrusted  to  him.    Robinson  was'of  the  family 

lat  aided  the  traitor  Arnold's  escape — and  an  anxious  plotter  to  crush  the  very  pow-

ly,  are  now  upheld  in  Canada  and  New  Brunswick,  and  paid  by  England  to  preserve 
oyalty  and  keeg  down  the  people.  So,  in  1746,  about  35,000  Englisn  bayonets  were 
employed  to  keep  the  Scotch  under  the  yoke.  And  at  the  close  of  the  revolt  of  1798, 
unulthe  act  of  Union  had  reduced  Ireland  to  tlie  degraded  rank  of  an  English  jtro- 
trince,  114,000  soldiers  were  paid  by  England  and  kept  in  Ireland  to  coerce  its  bravQ 
lat  divided  people.

while  they  yet  lived  ;  they  were  hung  five  minutes  only  ;  their  bodies  werej 
quartered,  and  the  heads  of  Townley  and  Fletcher  placed  on  Temple  Bar, 
London,  whert  they  remained  many  years.  This  is  the  government  which 
God  in  his  providence  permits  to  curse  the  face  of  the  earth  in  half  of  Nortli 
America,  in  1839.  Judge  Jones,  a  demon  in  human  shape  passed  a  sentence 
like  the  above  on  16  Americana  and  Canadians  a  few  months  ago  at  Niagara.

JULY  22.  WESTERN  N.  YORK  USURERS.—Nof  long  since 
ease  came  to  be  tried  before  Judge  Dayton  which  disclosed  »ome  more  o! 
the  villainy  of  the  bank^.  The  Cashier  of  one  of  the  Rochester  Banki 
prosecuted  for  the  value  of  a  note,  and  the  defendant  pleaded  that  the  trar., 
action  was  dishonest  and  usur<nns,  and  brought  the  president  of  anolhet 
Rochester  Bank  to  prove  it.  This  prorident  swore  that  defendant  wai 
greatly  distressed  for  money  then,  thougli  he  said  he  would  bo  abundantly 
able  to  pay.     He  (^'itness)  refused  to  discount  his  note  m  his  official  capaci. 

ty  of  president  of  a  safety  fund  bank,  at  7  per  cent,  but  as  Mr.  S h 

did  so  at  the  rate  of  3  per  cent  a  month  (or  36  per  cent  per  annum  )  Wil 
nesa  discounted  other  notes  at  same  rates,  and  disposed  of  them  to  the 
cashier  of  another  Rochester  Bank  (very  probably  for  an  equal  amount  oi 
paper  just  as  iionebtlt  (! ! !}  acquired,)  but  neither  of  them  officially  told  tin 
other  that  there  had  been  fraud  in  the  transaction.  This  other  cashier,  ht 
said,  dist^ounted  the  notes  at  7  per  cent  to  him  (the  dislionest  president),  am! 
the  judge  decided  that  the  transaction  was  legal,  while  the  convenient  law 
officer  put  his  conscience  and  oath  of  office  in  his  pocket,  and  left  the  self. 
convicted  usurer  unprosecutcd.  This  is  a  common  occurrence  with  thesi 
nuisances  the  banks  ;  they  find  what  good  notes  are  offi^red ;  lend  funds  tc 
officers  and  directors,  while  they  refuse  the  most  solvent  notes  of  merchanti 
and  manufacturers  ;  and  then  with  the  funds  so  borrowed  meet  the  men  ol 
business  elsewhere  and  propose  to  accommodate  them  at  3  per  cent  a  monti 
or  to  give  640  dollars  in  paper  for  a  note  of  1000  due  a  year  hence.  Even 
this  Jewish  hug  they  squeeze  tighter  by  importing  Essex  or  using  Corpoa 
tion  or  other  worthless  or  depreciated  trash  to  transact  the  business  m,  which 
the  broker  shaves  their  dupes  for,  changing  at  4  to  6  per  cent  more.  If  A' 
moricans  tolerate  such  things  why  should  they  wonder  that  people

cidedSn  Canada— out  of  9000  men  1738  were  either  killed  or  wounded. 
Col.  Miller  charged  and  carried  the  English  artillery.— 1792,  The  Duke  of 
Brunswick,  on  behalf  of  the  continental  despots,  issued  his  manifesto 
against  the  principle  of  equal  rights  in  France,  declaring  that  his  army 
••  will  inflict  on  those  who  shall  deserve  it,  the  most  exemplary  and  ever  me> 
morable  and  avenging  punishments,  by  giving  up  the  city  of  Paris  to  milita. 
ry  execution,  and  exposing  it  to  military  execution,"  &.c.  But  so  long  as 
republicanism  held  sway  in  France,  the  duke's  seheme  to  renew  the  reign  of 
kings,  tithes,  priests  and  nobles  proved  abortive. 

JULY  26.  1630,  The  French  Ministers  report  to  that  whited  sepulchre, 
Charles  10th,  that  the  press  must  be  restricted  for  its  factiousness,  and  the 
Parliament  reconstructed  because  of  its  democracy.  Charles's  ottiinances 
against  the  press  and  the  people,  appeared  in  the  Monit  ur  of  this  morning ; 
the  editors  meet  and  bolaly  protest. 

JULY  27.  1838,  THE  BRANDON  BANK,  or  '•  Mississippi  and  AI. 
abama  Rail  Road  Company,"  had  their  affairs  at  this  date  enquired  into  by 
state  commissioners,  who  report  that  the  company  had  in  cash  $38,000,  and 
>wed  six  millions  besides  the  two  millions  of  stock,  much  of  it  imaginary — 
that  thby  had  become  dealers  in  cotton  wool  and  had  $360,000  value  in  it 
on  hand,  and  had  shipped  3  millions'  worth  and  drawn  for  1  1.4  millions— 
that  the  bank  held  EXECUTIONS  against  the  people  for  1 1.  millions, 
and  has  issued  its  promises  to  pay  next  year  at  this  time  for  $360,000— that 
(with  only  $38,000  in  specie)  it  has  its  notes  or  bills  payable  on  demand  in 
cash  scattered  through  the  states  to  the  amount  of  nearly  4  millions  of  dol. 
lars ! ! ! — that  its  rail  road  expenditure  was  only  $234,000  (out  of  8  mil. 
lions  : ! !) — that  it  had  a  variety  of  agency  paper  issuing  banks,  and  was  mo. 
nopolizing  trade  and  merchandize — tiiat  it  owed  $520,000  to  depositors  in 
its  MONEY  shop  ! — that  the  paper  in  circulation  far  exceeded  the  lawful  lira, 
it,  and  as  the  bank  could  not  pay  its  promises  those  who  had  them  sold  them 
at  60  or  70  cents  for  a  dollar,  which  the  public  lost,  and  the  cheating  direc. 
tors  and  their  brethren  in  roguery  gained — that  the  two  millions  of  stock  or 
capital  had  never  been  paid  in  money;  those  who  became  shareholders  gave 
their  notes ! ! !  or  mortgaged  property ;  and  a  chosen  few  of  Yankee,  Scotch, 
Irish,  English  and  ot.iCr  gamblers  got  the  management  of  fortune's  wheel, 
with  power  to  make  mankind  dishonest  as  far  as  example  would  do  it — that 
while  the  public  is  suffering  by  depreciated  paper,  the  bankers,  who  trade  on 
moonshine,  will  make  750,000  dollars  of  profit  during  the  year,  and  more 
than  that,  ir  it  chose  to  go  into  market  and  buy  op  its  own  vile  fraudulent 
trash  of  b  inkrupt  promises  at  35  per  cent  discount,  it  might  realize  other 
$800,000,  while  the  people  would  lose — it  would  thus,  in  one  year,  plunder 
the  state  of  a  million  and  a  half  of  dollars,  on  scarcely  any  capital  at  all !  I 
The  Commissioners  state  the  way  this  villainous  concern  was  got  up.  "  The 
mode  by  which  such  enormous  profits  are  realized  without  cither  capital  or 
labor,  is  very  simple.  A  charter  is  first  obtained  from  the  Legislature.  A 
small  portion  of  stock  is  to  be  paid  in,  before  the  bank  goes  into  operation. 
A  few  honest  planters  desirous  of  promoting  the  improvement  of  the  coun> 
try,  which  the  bank  promises,  take  stock  in  good  faith  and  pay  it  up  in  bo* 
na  fide  capital.  Those,  however,  who  are  experienced  in  these  matters, 
pay  up  as  little  as  possible.  But  as  the  latter  are  financiers,  they  are  elect, 
ed  to  manage  the  bank.  They  soon  discount  paper  for  themselves  and  other 
stockholders  of  financial  abilities.  With  this  they  buy  more  properly,  to  se. 
cure  more  stock,  to  get  more  discounts,  to  buy  more  property,  to  secure  more 
stock.  &c.  &,c.  and  finally  they  are  able  to  write  a  very  respectable  capital, 
upon  which  they  are  permitted  to  issue  double  the  amount.  If,  however, 
the  wants  of  the  people  are  very  pressing,  they  disregard  the  limits  of  the 
charter,  and  issue  ad  libitum.  The  stockholders  of  Uie  bank  are  now  in  a 
fair  wav  of  making  money,  or  at  least  of  acquiring  the  property  of  the  peo. 
pie  within  the  sphere  of  their  operations.     Nothing  can  arrest  their  career

of  gain  but  a  returu  to  specie  paymentu,  and  this  thejr  wiP  endeavor  to  pcaU 
pone  aa  long  as  poaaible.  So  long  as  a  few  men  can  dra  tv  a  proHt  of  mere 
than  50  per  cent  from  the  labor  of  the  country,  for  n:  crely  writing  their 
name  on  a  slip  of  paper  promising  to  pay  their  own  banL  iny  given  amount, 
it  is  natural  that  they  should  endeavor  to  protract  their  harvest."  They 
add,  that  a  few  stockholders,  by  the  art  and  mystery  of  banking,  have  ta. 
ken  from  the  productive  industry  of  Mississippi,  8750,000  in  ono  vear  on  a 
capital  the  legitimate  intecpst  of  which  would  not  exceed  $50,000  at  7  per 
cent.  Our  Canadian  friends,  who  are  plundered  wholesale  by  Arthur  &, 
Co  in  this  wajr  will  now  perceive  that  the  Hamilton  Msaairr  family  are 
not  extinct  yet  in  the  United  States.    But  to  continue  : 

The  honorable  and  intelligent  state  commissioners,  Messrs.  L.  A.  Besan. 
eon,  E.  F.  Calhoun,  and  James  Hogan,  show  that  of  the  funds  of  the  Bran. 
don  Bank,  the  10  Directors  had  borrowed  from  the  chest  of  the  Bank  near. 
Ip  four  times  the  amount  of  capital  said  to  bo  paid  in— in  short,  they  had 
borrowed  about  three  millions  two  hundred  and  fifly  thousand  dollars  them, 
•elves ! ! !  and  had  pledged  310  slaves,  53,000  acres  of  land,  and  1131  bales 
of  cotton  to  the  bank  as  security.  What  madness  it  is  for  honest  farmers  to 
build  up  banks  to  help  the  public  !  It  seems  that  when  the  Bank  refused  to 
pay  its  debts,  attachments  were  lodged  in  Biddle's  Bank  for  29,000  dollars 
tor  protested  notes,  on  which  Biddle  began  to  protest  the  checks  of  the  Bran, 
don  Bank,  although  he  had  large  sums  belonging  to  it  in  the  U.  S.  Bank,  in 
order  that  its  other  creditors  might  not  know  how  to  obtain  their  honest  de. 
mands.  The  honor  of  the  Bank  and  his  own  character  required  that  he 
should  have  paid  the  Brandon  Bank's  checks  ^g  long  as  ho  had  several  hun. 
drcd  thousand  dollars  of  its  funds  in  his  hands ;  yet  this  is  the  artful,  keen 
irambler  whom  a  party  on  this  continent  would  have  made  treasurer  of  the 
United  States,  and  placed  its  treasury  in  a  national  bank ;  he  the  regulator ; 
foreigners  the  stockhold  rs !  The  Commissioners  conclude  by  declaring, 
that  of  the  40  banks  in  tne  state,  some  have  acted  in  woasB  faith  to  the  pub. 
lie,  others  better ! ! ! 

1839,  WILLIAM  ALVES,  J.  G.  Parker,  Randal  Wixson,  Leonard 
Watson,  Paul  Bedford,  Finlay  Mjilcolm,  James  Brown,  Robert  Walker  and 
Ira  Anderson,  Canadian  prisoners,  took  passage  in  the  Wellington  from  Lir.

Tc./  owe  their  deliverance  from  the  horrid  grasp  of  the  English  government 
to  Wm.  H.  Ashurst  their  disinterested  solicitor,  and  to  Messrs.  Falconer, 
Roebuck,  Hill  and  Fry  their  counsel.  Mr.  Hume,  Lord  Brougham  and 
other  benevolent  characters  did  much  for  them,  and  the  liberal  press  aided 
them.  Four  days  after  they  sailed  for  England  from  Quebec  the  year  be- 
fore,  a  plan  was  formed  and  within  an  hcur  of  being  put  into  execution 
which  would  have  enabled  them  to  sieze  the  Captain  and  hands  and  steer 
the  vessel  into  an  American  port — the  irons  were  sawn  off  some  of  the 
stoutest  of  them,  when  Jacob  BEEMER  firom  the  London  District,  U.  C. 
proved  a  Judas,  and  informed  the  captain  of  their  design.  This  wretch, 
though  tried  in  Canada,  has  not  been  banished  with  the  14  brave  Canadian!

cause  with  them  in  their  opposition  to  English  Tvranny ;  propose  a  eonven' 
tion  of  reformers,  a  delegation  to  L.  Canada,  and  the  division  of  the  colony 
into  districts  and  societies,  on  the  Irish  plan  of  '98. 

1830,  The  first  of  THE  THREE  glorious  DAYS  in  Paris.  The  people 
and  their  republican  leaders  fight  bravely — their  doctrinaire  lawyers  and  de. 
puties  wavv  Perrier,  Guizot,  arid  Dupin  act  a  pitiful  part.  The  Great  La. 
ikyette  arrit  ^  '  Paris  and  is  appointed  commander  in  chief. — 1839,  Saml. 
Peter  Hart  anu  '  ftrs  arrested  at  Cobourg,  ivith  arms.  They  were  tried  in 
Sept.,  and  Henry  Moon,  the  informer,  with  James  Stuart  and  another 
were  the  Queen's  i,;?;^  tnce.  Hart  and  the  others  were  convicted,  and  sen* 
tenced  to  5  to  7  yen  <  *he  penitentiary.  Letters  were  sworn  to  and  pro. 
duoed  in  court  which  shewed  that  Hart,  when  Editor  of  the  Telegraph  at 
Lewiston,  acted  as  a  spy  for  the  Hamiltons,  and  oflfered  for  £300  to  go  ful- 
ly into  the  Judas  trade  for  Arthur. 

JULY  29.  1830,  Charles  the  10th,  forgetful  of  the  lessons  of  the  previ- 
ous 40  years,  endeavored  to  subvert  the  French  constitution,  destroy  the  li- 
berty of  the  press,  and  finally  to  take  back  from  the  people  of  France  those 
rights  and  lands  which  they  had  wrested  from  an  aristocracy  \eat  cruel  and 
heartless  than  the  banking  monopolists  of  these  states.  The  pec^Je  resisted, 
and  this  was  the  2d  of  three  days  which  ended  in  banishing  a  traitor  king  a 
second  time  from  France,  and  sending  his  ministers  to  a  dungeon.  1500 
Citizens  of  France  were  declared  by  the  nation  soon  afterwards  to  be  enti. 
tied  to  honorary  decorations  for  their  services  during  the  three  glorious  days 
—the  King  said  they  should  have  the  decorations  if  they  would  swear  fideli. 
ty  TO  HIM.  One  thousand  of  them  met  and  to  a  man  decided  in  the  ne> 
gative.  They  said  we  swear  to  be  faithful  to  the  people,  but  that  did  not  suit 
the  royal  person. 

JULY  30.  1838.  ESCAPE  FROM  FORT  HENRY.— Messrs.  Mont, 
gomery,  Morden,  Reid,  Anderson,  Stewart,  Marr,  Kennedy,  Chase,  Brophy, 
Stogdill,  Tracy,  M.  Sl  T.  Shepard,  Parker  and  Watson,  escape  from  Fort 
Henry,  U.  C. — the  two  latter  are  retaken. — 1829,  Daniel  O'Connell  elected 
member  for  Clare  County  by  acclamation,  at  which  time  he  gave  a  solemn 

fledge  to  the  Irish  people  never  in  life  to  cease  his  exertions  till  the  250,000 
rish  freeholders  who  had  been  disfranchised  and  their  rights  subverted  as  a 
set  off  against  the  emancipation  bill,  should  be  restored,  which  rights  the 
40  shilling  freeholders  of  Ireland  have  not  again  obtained. 
KJULY  n.  1837,  Adjourned  meeting  of  REFORMERS  of  Toronto  at 
Doel's  Brewery ;  they  agree  to  a  declaration  of  grievances,  rights  and  duties, 
recommend  auxiliary  associations,  a  convention,  and  to  stand  by  the  Lower 
Canadians.  W.  L.  Mackenzie  appointed  agent  and  corresponding  secretary, 
a  committee  of  vigilance  nominated,  members  to  convention  elected  for 
city,  and  resolutions  for  non.consumption  of  English  manufactures  agreed 
to. — 1836,  Capt.  Burwell  announces  that  his  brother  the  M.  P.  P.,  who  had 
got  about  70,000  acres  of  public  lands,  and  been  a  most  vindictive  enemy 
of  the  reformers,  (he  who  moved  the  gift  of  a  sword  to  McNab  for  murder, 
ing  his  countrymen),  was  accidentally  born  in  the  united  states,  that  he 

"  WAS  brought  through  the  wilderness  in  a  basket  with  a  bottle  or  MILE 
"  TO  BALANCE  HIM  AGAINST  AN  E^DER  SISTER  CARRIED  IN  LIKE  MANNER  ON  THE 
"  OPPOSITE  SIDE  OF  THE  HORSE  !"

AUG.  14.  17%,  NATIONAL  GRATITUDE.— That  without  the  men, 
ahipa,  arraa,  and  treasure  of  France,  the  United  States  could  not  have  achieved 
their  indnpeqdenco,  is  clear.  Yet  what  was  the  return  they  made  that  gallant 
nation  wliun  struggling  for  iheliku  freedom  from  foreign  and  domestic  tyrants? 
This  day  the  President  and  scniite  ratified  a  treaty  of  perpetual  friendship,  navi- 
gation and  commerce  with  England's  arisiocracy,  America's  ancient  tyrant, 
ct>mmonly  called  Jay's  treaty,  broke  faith  with  France  in  her  hour  of  trouble, 
when  the  despots  of  the  old  world  had  combined  against  her,  and  refused  her 
any  aid  whatever.  Th  1  democrats  opposed  this  course,  but  in  1837-8  acted  just 
the  aame  pa  towar''  he  Canadians.  The  House  of  Representatives  asked  the 
President  to  ^  ■«  be  them  the  correspondence  what  had  passed  relative  to  Jay's 
treaty;  also  "♦iona  to  Joy,  but  be  refused,  and  no  wonder!    The  honest

burtt  forth,  repeated  through  the  counilesa  cities  that  stud  tneir  vast  territory, 
echoed  through  their  unbounded  savannahs  and  eternal  forests.  It  was  the  gra-

impetiious  and  uncontrolled,  wherever  its  object,  the  general  benefactor  and 
friend,  appeared.  All  was  rational  and  reflned.  The  constituted  authorities  an- 
awered  to  the  people's  voice— the  Legislature  itself  received  the  nation's  guest  m 
the  bbsom  of  the  people's  representatives,  to  which  he  could  not  by  law  have  ac- 
cess— he  was  hailed  and  thanked  as  the  benefactor  and  ally  of  the  New  World

by  a  conrt  martial  and  sentenced  to  be  sliot.  He  was  pardoned ;  built  a  splendid 
mansion,  and  died  very  rich,  the  sentence  doing  no  injury  to  a  character  previ-

Feb.  '93,  Pitt  declared  the  war  with  Fronce  •  war  of  exterminstinn  (  and  Burke 
aaid,  "Let  no  rc({ard  be  had  to  ihecustoms  of  civilized  national  let  the  war  ha 
reduced  to  mihiary  execution;  !ct  France  be  aurrounced  by  a  circle  of  Fire ;  let 
her  be  consumed  within  it."  Many  of  liie  cxccseea  of  tlie  French  revolution  a. 
rose  out  of  this  UeKish  policy  «f  Riiidnnd,  which  addom  gave  Paria  and  itaSOO,- 
000  people  more  than  18  hours'  !*<ipply  of  broad. 

AUG.  M6.  1«37,  THE  HOUSKOF  ASSEMFIY  OF  LOWER  CANADA, 
before  they  wprc  extin^utshrd  by  Enfflaiid,  address  Governor  (josford  to  say. 
that  as  tU^  Legislative  Council  cbtsen  by  the  Ett^rlish  giyvernment  had  refused  to  pass 
bills  renewing  tlve  law  providing  for  the  educatiou  of  the  people,  and  for  the  trial  by 
jury  after  English  maimer;  also  to  agree  to  bills  for  improving  the  administration  of 
justice;  tor  granting  but  vne  salary  tn  one  oflicer  aqd  desiroymg  pluralities  ;  for  es- 
tablishing road  lawb  and  for  the  election  of  parish  and  township  officers  to  manage 
local  concents,  and  be  paid  by  local  assessments ;  for  giving  the  parishes  instead  of 
the  priesthood  tl>e  control  of  tlie  secular  concerns  of  each  parish;  and  as  the  British 
governiiiunt  continued  to  refuse  all  refurm,  to  apply  the  public  revenue  without  the 
pulilic  consent,  to  tax  the  country  by  laws  inaue  in  London  against  the  public  will, 
and  in  all  things  to  despiiiethe  Canadian  people's  opinion,  thatit  was  useless  for  them 
to  sit  legislating  where  tliey  could  eifect  nothing.  Oosford  prorogued  tliem— Eng- 
land swept  them  away. 

On  the  subject  of  Lord  John  Russell's  rtMolutions  for  plunder,  robbery  aud  blood- 
shed, on  behalf  of  tlieir  innocent  countrymen  they  say : 

"  It  is  our  duty  to  icll  the  mother  oaantry,  that  if  she  carries  the  spirit  of  these  res- 
olutions into  effect  in  tlie  go\-emn>ent  of  British  America,  and  of  this  province  in  par- 
ticular, hf  r  fufjreuiacy  therein  will  no  louger  depend  upon  the  feelings  of  affection, 
of  duty,  and  of  mutual  interest,  which  would  best  secure  it,  but  on  physical  and 
viateriul  force,  an  element  dangerous  to  the  governing  party,  at  the  same  lime  that 
\\  subjects  tlte  govomed  to  a  degree  of  uncertainty  as  to  their  future  existence  and 
their  dourest  interests,  wliicii  is  scarcely  to  be  found  under  the  most  absolute  govern- 
mentsof  civilized  Eurupe.  It  is,  therefore,  our  ardent  wish  that  the  resolutions  a 
dopted  by  the  two  Houses  of  Parliament  may  be  rescinded,  as  attacking  the  rights 
and  liberties  of  this  province,  as  being  of  a  nature  to  perpetuata^  bad  government, 
corruption,  and  abi  se  of  puwer  tlierein,  and  as  rendering  more  just  and  legitimate 
the  disaffection  and  oj^position  vf  the  people." 

The  above  warning  was  disregarded,  and  Lord  Durham's  Kcport  tells  the  result. 
"  Their  ancient  antipathy  against  tlfc  Americans  has  terminated.  An  American  in- 
-vading  army  may  rely  on  the  cooperation  of  almost  the  entire  French-  population  of 
Lower  Canada.  The  iniLitia,  on  which  depends  the  ma<n  defence  of  tiie  Province 
aghinst  external  enemies,  is  completely  disorganized.  The  attempt  to  arm  or  em- 
ploy it  would  bo  merely  arming  the  enemies  of  tho  government."

AUG.  27,  1<81,  Arrival  in  America  of  Count  de  Grasse,  with  a  French  fleet  of 
i28  ships  of  war,  and  army  of  3,200  men,  in  aid  of  the  Americans. 

AUG.  29.  1632.  John  Locke  born.  1798,  The  Rev.  Jas  Gordon  of  Killegujr 
relates  that  Lord  Kingsborough  caused  two  Irishmen  to  be  severely  ilo§^ed  on  suspi- 
■cion  of  being  rebels,  on  what  ground  he  did  not  tell.  "While  the  dranimers  were 
cutting  these  miserable  men's  backs  withthelish,  my  lord  was  employed  throwing 
salt  into  the  cuts ;  nor  would  he  allow  tliera  to  be  dressed  for  24  hours,  although  the 
surgeon  urged  it ! 

AUG.  30.  1813.  Col.  Scott  and  Commodore  Chauncey  take  Toronto  a  8nd  time, 
^obtain  many  cannon  and  boats,  shot,  shell«,  provisions,  !i,c.  and  bum  the  berracks. 

1839.  MATTILEW  CAREY,  the  celebrated  Irish  Bookseller,  wrote  to-a  friend 
"  I  am  greatly  below  par.  1am  fearful  that  the  state  of  the  countnj  ia  hopelea*. 
Public  morals  are  at  t/je  lowest  ebb;  and  private  share  a  portion  of  the  same 
fate.  Regard  for  self  appears  to  be  the  predominant  feeling:  '  Every  man  for 
myshelf,'  as  the  Dutchman  said  when  he  Iwxl  siezrdallhe  could  Iny  his  hands  on. — 
Prospects  have  heretofope  been  very  gloomy  in  some  points  of  view  as  at  present , 
but  we  could  heretofore  see  a  little  cherub  shining  aloft  to  cheer  us  on  our  way,  but 
no  telescope  can  enable  us  to  see  a  cherub  aloft  at  present"  This  wasthe  result  of 
ilia  experience  during  a  long  and  benevolentlifc.     He  died  a  few  weeks  after. 

The  Scaffold  for  Loant  and  JWaltietc*  wns  taken  by  Wardsworth  by  con- 
tract, but  Ilia  men  would  not  touch  it— then  Riichi«  &  Hill  got  it,  and  their  men 
very  willingly  made  it.  Their  names  are,  Samuel  Pime  or  Sims,  Wm.  Hill.^hn 
Doves  and  Bcnet  Adams,  from  England— and  JaarlllinniJaB.  Mullen,  John  wm(

indignanily  refu^ied,  on  which  the  Kniflisli

Sun.  aft.  VVin.liart  issued  a  proclamation 
Ttnncisee  Lrt^islatxirc  mttla.\  that  "  the 
Anlnmnal  Equinox.]  city  of  Copenhagen 
diould  be  desolated  by  cvnry  me^ina  of  de- 
vattation"if  they  dared  tu  renist.  An  attack 
was  made  without  any  previous  declaration 
)f  war;  the  capital  was  wantonly  wrapped  in 
lames,  while  a  false  or  evasive  statement  of 
die  commanders  enabled  the  English  arraa- 
(5  Tj.  ©  ment  to  pass  unmolested  beneath 
7)o^ce]the  very  guns  of  Cro:iburg — an 


operat'on  which  must  inevitably  have  been  attended  with  great  lost  in  such  a  numerous 
fleet.  Not  a  Danish  ship  was  riffgcd  dc  the  crews  were  absent.  The  attack  commenced 
this  day  (the  2nd)  and  continued  for  several  days ;  6500  shells  were  thrown  into  the  city 
which  was  on  fire  in  thirty  placeSj;  tlie  timber  yards  were  burnt ;  the  powder  magnzin* 
blew  up;  the  utecple  of  the  cathedral  was  in  a  blaze  and  fell  like  St.  Eustache,  a- 
roidst  the  shouts  and  jeers  of  the  infamous  English.  Numbers  of  the  aged,  the 
young,  the  infirm,  the  sick  and  the  helpless  pcriaVicd  from  the  bursting  of  shells  and 
the  fire  of  the  tnilitary.  At  last  the  Danes  yielded  ratiier  than  hnve  Uie  city  entire- 
ly consumed.  The  Danish  fieet.  18  sail  of  the  line,  be:  iies  frigates  and  sloops,  and 
much  other  property  was  carried  off  by  the  English  freebooters, who  have  preyed  on 
th«  property  of  every  friendly  power  tlial  they  found  unprotected  as  far  bnc^k  as  his  • 
tory  records.  Honest  hearted  Americans,  remember  that,  whether  intended  or  not, 
everjy  bank  issuing  paper  money  is  a  natural  enemy  of  your  independence  and  an  al- 
ly ot  tlie  AlgeiineEnclish  monarchy.  The  paper  (noney  systemto  you  is  like  the 
courtezan  as  gold  or  silver  is  like  the  pure  maiden.

Take  care  of  your  com  stalks,  keep  tliem  from  the  heavy  rains  if  possible,  hut  let

tuned  tu  pay  thuir  tenth  sheaf  of  oau,  barley  and  wheat,  aye  and  their  tcMilIi  pota- 
tue,  to  a  holy  man,  a  church  of  England  clergyman,  one  Mr.  McOavin,  forinsiruil- 
ing  thato7U  protcstaiit.  McGavin,  fuarful  that  aonio  uf  the  grain  might  be  lakea 
away  before  he  got  his  share,  iliegiilly  insisted  on  getting  survoyora  ond  valuators  to 
measure  ond  value  tlicii  growinL'  i-roi/.,  to  enable  iiim  to  bring  them  tu  an  ecclesiastic- 
al  court  for  the  last  farthing  uf  his  tithes,  although  tlouJs  and  alurmii  might  destroy 
the  whole  crop.  Lord  Anglesey  sent  with  the  parsons  and  surveyors  an  anny  of 
horse,  foot  and  artillery,  fiencrnl  Barry  and  A/lmiral  Evans,  who  entered  James 
Black's  '"arm,  who,  witii  his  neifflibora.  made  some  rosistaiico.  The  magistrates  said 
they  would'make  short  work  of  it,  ordered  the  soldiers  of  the  4:)rd  tu  tire  upon  tit* 
Irisn  peasants,  and  some  did  so,  although  their  commanding  otficcr  gave  no  orders. 
Eleven  were  wounded,  and  four  murdered!  May  the  sons  of  Lrin  inAmerice 
never  forget  this  <leed  of  blood  until  the  robber-government  of  England  is  laid  pro'- 
fote  in  the  dn^i!  The  Irishmen  slain  were  Daniel  Regan  a  boy  of  14 — Wm.  Uoy'.e

to  have  been  that  aflernoon  married — ana  Michael  Horragan,  also  aged  27.  Irish*

RUSSIAN  PAVER  MONEY.— The  Emperor  Nicholas  has  just  fixed  the  val- 
ue of  the  pai>er  rouble  ai  f^-6  cents,  the  quantity  in  circulation  being  1000  millions  of 
flollars.  This  he  has  done  w:*h  the  approbation  of  the  rich  nobles,  and  without  ask- 
ing the  people's  consent ;  thus  le^nlizingby  his  mere  onler  a  govurnment  bankrupt- 
cy of  500  millions  of  dollars,  if  the  pap^rwas  all  i.isucd  at  the  original  value  prom- 
ised by  the  crown,  or  77  cents.  This  paper  money  was  down  toI9cciit5  during  Na- 
poleon's invasion,  and  rose  to  27  cents  afterwards.  Congress  or  contincntol  money 
depreciated  much  in  the  same  way.

1776,  WASHINGTON  evacuates  New  York.  His  army  arc  described  by 
Paul  Alien  thus:  "  His  troops  might  fight,  for  native  valour  will  sometimes  blaze 
ibrlh ;  but  ihev  could  not  be  depended  on.  They  had  no  confidence  in  them- 
selves,  and  little  in  their  officers;  wore  not  accustomed  to  withstand  the  approach 
of  an  enemy,  the  whistlinzof  balls  and  the  parade  of  discipline.  The  bravest 
troops  aro  but  gradually  trained  to  encounter  danger;  the  most  cow- 
ardly will  soon  learn  in  actual  service  to  disregard  everything  |^  but  the  bayo- 
net. "The  greatest  defticiion  (to  the  cause)  took  plice  in  the  higher  ranks  of 
society.  The  mm  and  undaunted  were  the  middle  chssos,  who  had  possb.iJions 
dearer  to  their  hearts  thnn  lands."  How  like  this  ia  to  the  state  of  things  back  ot 
Toronto,  Dec,  1S37.    Vet  the  Americans  conquered  ll^and  so  wilt  we. 

1720,  THE  SOUTH  SEA  BUBBIiE  began  to  burst,  and  like  many  modern 
schemes  to  cheol  mankind,  involved  thousands  of  families  in  utter  ruin.  The

SEPT.  9.  1513,  The  bai.le  of  FLODDEN  FIELD,  in  which  the  English 
army  defeated  the  Scotch,  with  the  loss  of  their  King  and  the  principal  men  of 
Scotland. 

1777,  Sir  JOH?Y  COLBORNE  born  at  Lymingtoti,  England,  where  his  father 
v'as  a  salt  boiler,  but  the  factories  were  destroyed  by  the  English  government 
laying  on  excessive  taxes  on  salt,  and  his  father  rcncfered  bankrupt.  In  1786  ho 
was  placed  at  a  charity  called  the  Blue  Coat  School  in  London— his  father  died 
—  his  mother  married  one  of  those  church  drones  called  prebends— in  1794,  he 
was  an  ensign  of  (he  20th  regt.—he  afterwards  fought  in  the  Peninsula.  In  1828 
he  came  to  Toronto  as  Governor,  proved  himself  a  corrupt,  vindictive  and  bigot- 
ted  character— strengthened  church  and  state  and  bank  and  state — was  trnnsla- 
ted  to  Lower  Canada  to  murder  and  plunder  the  French  Canadians  wholesale, 
and  institute  mock  trials  under  color  of  which  to  hang  the  noblest  and  bravest 
of  the  people's  defenders.  He  married  a  Miss  Yonge,  and  his  two  sisters  mar- 
ried her  two  brothers.  The  tyranny  and  taxation  of  the  English  power  broke 
his  father's  heart,  ruined  his  business  and  shortened  his  days.  Yet  his  son,  the 
charity  boy  of  1786,  is  now  the  inhuman  agent  of  that  baroarous  power  in  Ca- 
'nada  to  instruct  its  legions  how  to  rob,  tax  and  oppress  the  new  world.  He  is 
tall  and  talkative,  and  the  methodist  conference  have  not  forgotten  that  he  hates 
the  very  nameof  an  American.— 1781,  Battle  of  Eutau  Sprmgs,  S.  C— General 
Green  defeats  the  English,  who  lost  1100  men. 

SEPT.  10.  1813,  Commodore  '^erry  and  Capt.  Elliott  gain  a  signal  victory 
near  Amherstburgh,  Lake  Eric,  ov^r  the  English  fleet  under  Barclay,  which  they 
cnpture.— 1839,  Roch  de  St.  Ours,  High  Sheriff  of  Montreal  died  suddenly.  He 
was  elected  a  member  of  the  House  of  Assembly  by  the  Radicals,  accepted  a  seat 
in  the  Lesinlative  Council,  and  as  a  reward  for  turning  his  coat  was  madj  SheriiT 
in  1836,  through  the  treachery  of  P.  D.  Debartzch.  He  took  pleasure  in  tor- 
menting the  state  prisoners  in  1837,  and  to  his  cruelty  mav  be  attributed  the 
deaths  of  Messrs.  Drolet,  Amiot,  Lionnais,  Boudreau  and  others.  Atone  time 
the  prisoners  were  kept  26  hours  without  water. 

SEPT.  11.  1814,  Battle  of  Cumberland  Bay,  off  Plattsburgh,  between  the 
American  and  English  fleets- death  of  Commiidore  Downie,  R.  N.— 1777,  Bat-

men,  besides  30  aail  of  shipping  attacked  Fort  McHenry  on  the  day  lollowing, 
but  were  gallantly  repulsed  by  the  Marylandera,  and  after  throwing  ISOOahells, 
driven  off  with  great  loss.

1839,  S.  P.  HART,  editor  Lewiston  Telegraph,  and  others,  tried  before  Judge 
Jones  at  Oobourg,  U.  C,  on  the  testimony  of  Henry  J.  Moon,  their  captain,  (who 
turned  traitor  in  the  hope  of  apprehending  B.  Lett  and  sharing  the  reward  with 
Foster  Sprague,)  and  Geo.  Hart  and  James  Stewart,  sailors  from  the  Genesee 
river,  whom  Sheriff  Ruttan  bargamed  with  to  go  over  to  Canada  and  swear  a- 
way  Hart's  life  or  liberty — they  hari  gone  over  to  begin  one  of  those  miserable 
invasions  which  have  all  end('d  badly,  and  Moon  embellished  his  evidence  with 
tales  of  it  :nded  murder,  robbery,  dec.  It  is  probable  they  intended  to  carry 
over  Shepard  McCorinick  one  of  the  murderers  at  Schlosser.  They  were  sent 
5  to  7  years  to  the  penitentiary.  Hart  is  fully  proved  to  have  been  a  spy  and 
traitor,  under  the  guise  of  an  independent  editor.  He  offered  to  impeach  honor- 
able men  on  the  other  side,  and  caused  several  to  go  into  exile.

capitulation  had  been  delayed  but  two  hours  and  a  half,  a  reinforcement  of  1000 
men  would  have  been  at  the  gates  in  aid  of  old  France. 

SEPT.  20.  1746,  CHARLES  STUART,  Prince  of  Scotland,  embarked  at 
Lochwinnoch,  in  a  French  privateer  of  St.  Malo,  hired  by  young  Sheridan  and 
other  Iiish  friends.  They  passed  through  an  English  oquadron  and  were  chased 
by  two  English  ships,  but  reached  France  safely.  Such  wnR  the  bve  of  the

West  Point  into  the  hands  of  the  Englivh. 

SEPT.  23.  1839,  BRIBERY.— The  Globe  of  this  day  shows  that  the  Legia- 
ature  of  Maryland  is  as  rotten  and  corrupt  as  that  of  England.  The  facts  are 
rom  a  report  drawn  up  bv  Col.  Woolon  a  delegate,  and  chairman  of  a  cominit- 
eeof  enquiry.  The  rascally  legislature  received  the  report,  ordered  it  to  be  prin- 
ed,  and  then  managed  to  suppress  it  altogether.  Col.  Wuoton  and  Mr.  McCuI- 
oh  state  the  Chesapeake  ana  Ohio  Canal  Co.  and  the  Ohio  Railroad  Co.  paid  to 
\\x.  Joseph  J.  Merrick  Twenty-five  thousand  dollars  for  his  exclusive  ust.>.  as  a 
eward  for  secretly  corrupting  or  unduly  influencing  members  of  the  legislature 
0  loan  these  speculators  millions  of  money  and  mortgage  the  property  of  Mary- 
and  for  payment— Merrick  is  a  relative  of  the  governor's,  ana  of  several  mem- 
lersof  the  legislature.  Thesccompanies  also  secretly  bought  the  influence  of  Mr 
Alexander  and  Mr.  Brewer  for  82,000;  that  of  Colonel  Kent  for  83000;  and  that 
Df  Philemon  Chew  for  83000.  These  men  arr  not  all  lawyers,  nor  were  law  ser 
viccH  given  by  any;  they  were  corrupt  wretches  who  were  ready  to  sell  honour 
ind  honesty  for  gain.  Americans,  5^shun  and  despise  the  sordid  wretches. 
1795,  FRANCE  adopts  the  republican  constitution,  by  914,853  yeas,  and  41,- 
i9'2nays;  it  therefore  becomes  the  supreme  law.  It  had  cost  1,200,000  lives, 
lid  failed  because  of  its  dependance  on  paper  money,  200  millions  of  dollars,  and 
wing  to  the  opposition  of  English  and  continental  tyrants  from  without,  the  de- 
ei  tion  of  the  U.  S.  from  their  first  and  best  ally,  and  the  too  groat  protection 
ivhich  it  gave  to  the  accumulation  of  wealth.  Foreign  spies  anddomestic  trait- 
irs  were  numerous. 

SEPT.  24.  1791,  SAMUEL  LOUNT,  the  Canadian  Martyr,  was  born  this 
lay  in  a  cottage  on  the  banks  of  the  Susquehannah  River,  near  Catawissa,  Co- 
imbia  County,  Pa.  Ho  removed  to  Whitchurch,  U.  C.  in  1811,  iml  was  in  the 
■,  S.  during  the  war  of  1R12,  and  returned  to  Canada  in  1815.  Ho  ^  i  s  after- 
rsrds  elected  a  member  of  the  Canada  legislature,  and  appointed  by  the  covern- 
iieut  a  Judge  or  Commissioner  in  one  of  the  courts  in  Simcoo.  His  brother 
jeorge  is  a  magistrate  and  regieiter  of  lands  there.  Mr.  Lount  was  a  fatmer, 
iwned  a  large  blacksmith  establishment,  had  agreed  to  survey  one  or  more  town- 
hips,  and  was  wealthy.  He  was  beloved  by  hi^  neighbors,  generous  and  brave; 
if(!reat  personal  strenglh;  upwardsof  six  feet  in  height.  At  the  last  county  e- 
ociiuii  the  government  created  several  hundred  Hliniii  freeholders  and  sent  them

whole  copital  stock  of  the  bank  and  a  little  more.    These  Canadian  institiN

This  Bank,  says  the  Albat;y  correspondent  of  the  Journal  of  Commerce

^iHcers  8327,625.     A  Committee  of  the  Legish  ture  of  Mass.  report  that  its 
niiial  capital  was  8300,000;  that  8""9,952  of  its  tjotes  were  in  circulation  a- 
V  the  people;  that  itsprosidoiii  an  i  directors  had  helped  themselves  to  8630,- 
being  tho  wliole  capital  and  a  part  of  other  people's  money  left  on  deposit; 
other  8636,957  had  been  advanced  to  glass  companit  >,  associations,  and  in- 
uals,  utterly  worthless  or  of  doubtful  solidity;  and  tiiat  its  hills  discounted 
eonly  8157,769,  and  these  chiefly  to  accommodate  borrower?  and  not  on  ba- 
ts transactions.    This  was  the  U.  S.  government  pet  ba'ik,  and  under  the 
irul  of  its  partizans,  and  the  result  shews  that  if  the  people  will  allow  thii 
idulent  system  to  go  on,  men  of  both  naities  will  cheat  the  country,  hire  pres- 
to cloak  their  villainy,  and  u>»e  their  ill  gotten  wealth  to  obinin  more.     After 
owing  the  capital  and  part  of  the  loans,  the  managers  got  rid  of  their  bhd  spe-

from  Holland,  down  imd-channel  between  Calais  and  i)over,  on  Saturday,  tlia 
3rd  of  November,  about  noon.  The  spectacle  was  magnificent.  The  npiiosiia 
shores  of  I^ranre  and  England  were  lined  with  multitudes  of  npectators,  who  gnrrid 
with  strong  and  opposite  emotions,  for  several  hours,  unon  the  vast  armament  tno- 
ving  in  aline  iventy  milts  in  extent,  and  charged  wiin  the  rival  fortunes  nf  prin-

of  France,  rout  tlic  roval  tyrants  who  had  united  to  crush  freedom,  with  great 
slaughter.    Next  March  ne  turned  traitor,  but  the  troops  wouldn't  join  him. 

NOV.  6.  1838,  Capt.  Narcisse  GHEGOIUE,  a  brave  Canadian,  waa  tliis  day 
atruck  by  a  ball  in  the  chest,  at  the  H^lit  at  La  Cole,  whore  a  hard  fought  struggle 
took  place  between  the  torirs  and  Canadians.  He  died  asking  "  How  do  we  stand  7" 
He  was  told  the  truth,  and  his  last  words  were,  "()h,  my  unfortunate  country  I  are 
you  again  unsuccessful  in  repelling  your  tyrannical  foe  !  I  am  dying,  Goa  have 
merey  on  me  I  I  am  gone."  Such  too  were  the  struggles  in  the  old  war  of  '76. —

abstracteu  by  dishonest  and  ignorant  legislators  from  tlie  righu  of  community  7— 
Surely  no. 

1837,  CANADIAN  REVOLT.— This  day  tlie   English  government  began  to 
force  the  Canadians  into  a  premature  revolt.     A  youngmen's  association  called  "The 
8ons  of  Liberty,"  held  tlieir  UBUul  monthly  meetmg  in  Montreal.     The  government 
party  stated  at  an  early  hour  their  intention  to  asauult  these  young  men.     During 
this  meeting,  stones  were  thrown  at  the  young  men,  yet  this  passed  unrescnted.— 
On  their  way  home  they  were  assaulted —the  assault  was  repelled — their  opponents 
retreated,  and  the  magistrates  called  out  the  troops,  and  tliey  paraded  the  streets 
accompanied  by  several  pieces  of  cannon.     The  "loyal  assailants  of  the  Sons  of  Lib- 
erty, now  safe  underthe  protection  of  English  bayonets  and  artillery,  were  not  slow 
in  committing  excesses.     The  most  promiaent  of  these  was  damaging  Mr.  Paplneau's 
property  ;  after  which  they  broke  into  the  office  of  the  Vindicator,  which  they  ut- 
terly  destroyed.     Since  that  day  they  have  had  undisturbed  possession  of  Montreal. 
Lord  Qosibrd  dismissed  70  Justices  of  the  Peace,  issued  warrants  against  the  mem- 
bera  of  the  legislature  by  dozens,  arrested  hundreds  of  innoaent  men  on  mock  char- 
ges of  high  treason,  filled  the  dungeons  in  the  cold  winter,  and  in  34  hours  utterly 
ai^ihilated  liberty  of  speech  and  of  the  press,  and  subverted  a  royal  constitution. 
T'^O'V.  7.     1838,  Battle  of  Odletown  between  the  Canadians  and  Loyalists — tlie

In  a  memorial  to  Congress  from  Ogdensbur^li,  signed  oy  Henry  Van  Ronsselaer, 
Aid-de-camp  to  Governor  Seward  of  N.  Y.  it  is  ntated,  that  An  extent  of  country  eX' 
caeding  40  miles  appeared  aa  it  were  one  entire  sheet  of  tlame.  The  ascending 
light  etthia  burning  country  was  witnessed  afar  oil' by  the  inhabitants  along  this 
fronder.  And  the  exciting  spectacle  ef  human  miaery,  waa  too  painful  for  a  Chris- 
tian people  to  behold.  Men,  women  aud  children,  rubbed  of  every  vestige  of  ap- 
parel, lay  naked,  frozen,  aud  dead  along  fences  and  under  hedges.  Some  ^w  fortu- 
nately reached  our  frontier  towns,  and  were  aaved  from  perishing  liy  American  Sym- 
pathisers. 

NOV.  12.  1838,  INVASION  AT  PRESCOTT.— The  patriots  landed  near  tho 
iwind  mill,  below  Prescott,  but  were  embarrassed  by  one  of  their  schooners  running 
[round  containing  their  artillery,  arms,  shot,  gunpowder  ^c.  This  and  the  other 
ihoonerCol.  Worth  and  Garrow  the  Marshal  seized  on  Wednesday,  and  carried 
iff  to  Sacketl'a  Harbor.  The  Telegraph  arrives  with  U.  S.  ti-oopj — a  body  of  loyal- 
,  400,  inarch  from  Brockville — tlie  English  steamboats  Cobourg  and  Traveller  ar- 
ve  at  Prescott  with  troops — the  whole  number  of  patriots  was  ISO.  One  of  tho 
hoonera  seized  was  Engliah.  They  were  lying  at  anchor  on  the  U.  S.  tide,  in  tho 
rer,  all  Tueaday.  Some  cowardly  fellowa  had  gone  off  with  them  on  Monday  night 
'roin  the  other  aide. 
NOV.  13.  1838,  Tuesday,  at  7  the  steamers  open  a  fire  on  the  wind 
ill  in  possession  of  Von  Shultzo  and  tho  patriots — a  battlo  takes  place  bo. 
ween  the  loyalists  and  patriots,  in  which  the  latter  are  vietorious  after  » 
reat  slaughter  of  their  bncmics.  Aftor  this  night  tho  patriots  had  no  oan. 
on  balls — they  were  in  the  schooners!!  So  far  back  as  7th  Fob.  1813, 
0;j;iensburgh  volunteers  surprised  Brockville,  captured  tho  guard  at'.ii 
lO  prisoners,  with  the  arms,  ammunition  and  military  store.<i. 
1715,  Battle  of  Sheriff  Muir.  The  Scotch,  attempting  to  regain  their  national  in- 
ipendence  are  defeated  by  the  power  of  monopoly  baiika  aiid  English  intrigue, 
ith  dreadful  alaughter. 

1715,  Tho  Scottish  army,  the  leaders  of  which  had  taken  up  arms  to  ob. 
in  deliverance  from  the  paper  dollar,  monopolizinji;  power  of  England,  sur. 
inder  at  Preston,  England,  and  Major  Nairn,  Ensign  Erskino,  Capt.  Look, 
irt,  &.C.,  are  executed,  and  much  cruelty  practised.  Same  day  the  battl* 
Dumblane  or  Sheriff  Muir,  in  Scotland  was  fought  between  tho  Duke  of 
iTgyle  and  Earl  of  Mar,  in  which  victory  was  claimed  by  both.  The 
rince  came  to  Scotland,  to  Dundee  and  Perth,  but  had  to  leave  for  France 
717,  Thr  English  government  was  so  much  hated  thai  the  vile  whigs  durst 
ot  risk  an  election,  but  (like  the  Upper  Canada  House  lately)    voted  them.

the  King's  Bench  that  Allan,  Elmsley  and  Robert  Baldwin  Sullivan,  Head's 
Councillors,  said  in  their  hearing  that "  Mackenzie  ought  to  have  been  shot 
at  that  time,  and  the  only  thing  to  be  done  now  is  to  take  hina  out  and  ihoot 
him."     O*  This  was  before  the  revolt.

McNcvin  in  the  Cliair.— Mrs.  Herbert,  of  Burtonville  L.  C.  was  arrested 
last  fall  and  '^ast  into  a  dungeon  in  the  Napierville  jsil,  to  compel  her  to 
make  disclosures  about  patriot  movements.  Although  kept  tliere  alone  up. 
on  bread  and  water,  she  would  not  disclose  anything.  Her  children  were 
left  unprotected  in  the  streets  during  her  detention,  her  houso  burned  at  the 
time  of  her  arrest,  and  her  husband  a  refugee  in  the  States. — Swanutn  P'r. 

NOV.  15.  1838.  The  party  in  the  Windmill  posted  a  cannon  on  the  hill,  be- 
low Prescott,  attacked  a  long  line  of  militia  on  their  way  down,  and  routed  them 
—  want  of  round  shot  was  the  cause  of  their  surrender  on  the  Friday.— 1830, 
The  whigs  gain  a  majority  in  the  H.  of  C.  on  the  Civil  List  question,  in  conso> 
qiience  of  the  Duke  of  Wellington's  declaration  that  he  would  permit  no  reform 
in  parliament. 

1336,  NEWFOUNDLAND  ELECTION;  near  opproach  to  a  revolt ;  200  to- 
ry  constables  appointed;  the  electors  insulted  and  mjured;  the  military  called 
out  to  take  possession  of  the  Streets  of  St.  John;  Fort  'Townshend  Hei|hts 
planted  with  English  Cannon  bearing  upon  the  city,  over  the  hustings ;  Kent 
and  Morris  elected  in  spite  of  the  government  and  carried  through  the  streets  in 
triumph;  the  regulars  again  tnke  possession  of  the  city;  on  the  19th  the  NeW' 
toundiand  Patriot  publishes  the  U.  S.  Declaration  of  Independence,  and  Mr. 
Speaker  Canon  declared  that  if  one  musket  had  been  fired,  "  some  thousand 

Sunners  had  their  sealing  muskets  loaded  and  primed,  ready  to  avenge  the  bloody 
aed."  The  Newfoundland  Editor  bids  the  government  figure  to  themselves  a 
snow  storm,  the  snow  4  feet  dee|i ;  and  reminds  them  how  powerless  the  troops 
would  be  against  the  people.  "  Six  Thousand  of  the  best  Gunners  in  the  British 
dominions,  who  are  invulnerable  both  in  the  storm  and  in  the  battle,  and  who  on 
the  rolling  billows  would  pick  the  eye  out  of  a  seal  at  a  distance  that  would  bid 
defiance  to  the  puny  musket  of  a  veteran  Ware  the  designers  of  this  attempt  to 
bear  in  mind  that  if  the  life  of  any  of  iho-^e  on  whom  they  principally  direct  their 
vcnscance,  had  been  taken  on  that  fatal  day,  months,  no,  nor  years  woukl  efface 
from  the  mumory  of  those  six  thousand  well  armed  and  well  disciplined  hardy 
eons  of  the  ocean,  until  they  would  revenge  the  bloody  deed." 

NOV.  16.     1830,  The  Duke  of  Wellington  and  Sir  R.  Peel,  chiefs  of  the 
tory  section  of  the  people's  oppressors,  announce  that  the  Whigs  had  obliged 
them  to  resign  their  power. — 1837,   The  Canada  government,  to  goad  the 
people  into  a  revolt  for  which  their  oppressors  were  prepared,  arrest  Andre 
Ouimet,  President  of  the  Sons  of  Liberty,  J.  Dubuc,  F.  Tavernier,  M.  Le. 
blanc,  Dr.  Simard,  &c.,  on  a  charge  of  Ligh.trcason.     Aimable  Norbcrt  Mo. 
rii  of  Quebec,  and  other  leading  men,  had  been  previously  placed  in  dun* 
geons  there.     These  arrests  caused  the  first  effusion  of  blood.     A  small  party 
of  cavalry  were  escorting  Dr.  Davignon  and  the  P.  M.  of  St.  John's  (Mr. 
Demaray)  to  MontrcalJail,  and  treating  them  with  cruelty  and  insult,  when 
the  farmers  stopt  them,  upset  the  vehicle  in  which  the  manacled  prisoners 
were  tied  down,  and  set  them  free,  driving  off  the  soldiers.     On  this  the  Mon- 
treal Courier  cried  out,  '♦  blood  has  at  last  been  shed  by  the  rebels — the  long 
desired  blow  has  been  struck — no  British  subject  could  desire  belter  things." 
(17  1838,  Friday.     After  a  well  contested  and  sanguinary  contest,  the 
gallant  Von  Schoultz  and  his  brave  band  had  to  surrender  themselves  prison, 
ers — 149  surrendered  to  the  enemy,  15  were  killed,  and  16  escaped.    SirGeo. 
Arthur  offi'iially  informs  Lord  Glenelg  that  5000  militia  were  on  the  ground, 
besides  the  regulars,  and  they  had  the  armed  steamers  and  two  18  pounders 
playing  on  the  windmill.     As  proportioned  to  the  number  engaged,  more  men 
fell  in  this  contest  than  at  the  bloody  battle  of  Waterloo.    The  American 
patriots  gained  immortal  honor  for  their  race  and  name.     Wm.  Johnson  and

the  people  of  Ogdensburgh  speak  of  Coi.  Worth's  conduct  and  that  of 'hia 
officers,  in  language  which  we  omit.  It  is  known.  The  exact  line  of  hia 
duty  WK  cannot,  perhaps,  rightly  define. — 1773,  The  CitizcnH  of  Boston  dress 
themselves  like  Indians  and  throw  346  chests  of  East  India  Company  Tsa 
into.the  sea,  because  the  English  Parliament  had  placed  a  tax  of  three  pence 
per  lb.  on  it  without  their  consent,  the  proceeds  to  be  used  as  a  bribery  fund 
wherewith  to  corrupt  (as  in  England)  the  leading  men  of  the  colony,  and 
make  them  instrumental  in  enslaving  their  countrymen. 

NOV.  17.  1838,  Fivd  thousand  men  meet  at  the  railroad  depot,  Phila. 
delphia,  to  hear  Theller  and  Mackenzie  state  the  wrongs  of  Canada— Lewis 
Taylor  in  the  chair. — The  Spirit  of  the  Times  says — "  But  one  feeling  per. 
vaded  the  immense  assemblage — that  of  deep  commisseration  for  the  hard, 
■hips  and  suffering  of  the  Patriots,  and  upon  dispersing,  the  universal  senti. 
ment  was  GOD  SPEED  THE  CANADIANS."— 1837,  The  Priests  of 
the  Seminary,  Montreal,  subscribe  large  suras  to  feed  and  clothe  the  tory 
volunteers  who  were  murdering  and  plundering  their  countrymen  at  St. 
Eustachc,  &c. — 1794,  John  Home  Tooke  tried  for  high-treason  (love  of 
liberty)  before  Lord  Mansfield.  He  was  defended  by  Lord  Erskine  and  ae. 
quitted.  Had  he  been  found  guilty  the  gallows  would  have  ended  his  honor, 
able  and  useful  career. 

NOV.  18.  1838,  Colonel  Wetherall  with  a  large  military  force,  cannon, 
cavalry,  &.c.,  marches  thro'  the  dis-titrbbd  part  of  the  country  to  excite  more 
disturbance  and  take  vengcanee. — Sir  George  Arthur  renews  his  reward  of 
one  thousand  sovereigns  fi>r  Mackenzie's  apprehension,  and  believing  him  in 
Canada  makts  a  diligent  search. 

NOV.  19.  1838,  BURNING.— Colonel  Angus  Macdonell,  Fourth  Re. 
giment  of  Glengarry  Militia,  writes  Bishop  Macdonell,  Cornwall,  "  We  pro^ 
ceeded  towards  Beauharnois  by  a  forced  march,  burning  and  laying  wasto 
the  country  as  we  went  along ;  and  it  was  a  most  distressing  and  heart  rend, 
ing  scene,  to  see  this  fine  settlement  so  completely  destroyed,  the  houses 
burned  and  laid  in  ashes ;  and  I  understand  the  whole  country  to  St.  Charles 
experienced  the  same ;  the  wailing  and  lamentation  of  the  women  and  chil* 
dren,  on  beholding  their  houses  in  flames,  and  their  property  destroyed ;  their 
husbands,  fathers,  brothers,  sons,  dragged  along  prisoners :  and  such  of  them 
u  did  not  appear,  were  supposed  to  be  at  the  rebel  camp." 

1838,  Colborne  issues  an  order  to  convene  the  corut  martial  which  sent  so 
many  good  and  true  Canadians  to  eternity,  and  orders  them  to  give  sentence 
"  according  to  martial  law  and  the  rules  of  military  discipline."  This  court 
of  murderers  of  the  innocent  consisted  of  General  John  Clitherow,  President, 
Col.  Sir  John  Eustace,  Col.  Henry  Barnard,  Col.  Wm.  Grierson,  15th  Regt., 
Col.  James  Crauford,  Major  John  Lloyd,  73d.Regt.,  Major  Henry  Townsend,

NOV.  20.  1837,  The  English  ComnKinder  in  Chief,  London,  orders  sol. 
diers  to  take  off  their  side  arms  when  not  on  duty,  because  they  oflen  injured

NOV.  22.  1330,  Earl  Grev  takes  the  premiership,  as  head  of  the  whigs, 
and  grasps  at  offices  for  his  relations  as  greedily  as  a  famished  hound  would

Theller,  Mackeiizie,  and  others. 

NOV.  23.  1837,  Death  of  Lieutenant  Weir,  B.  A.-— The  Canadians 
took  him  prisoner  near  St.  Denis ;  he  was  in  plain  clothes ;  said  ho  was  buy. 
ing  wheat ;  was  searched  and  his  errand  and  character  found.  When  the 
battle  of  St.  Denis  began  his  guards  tied  him  easily,  put  him  in  a  caleche 
and  took  him  forward  a  little  way,  when  he  burst  their  bands  and  fled,  they 
chased  and  fired — he  fell. — 1830,  Lord  Chancellor  Brougham  1st  introduced 
as  a  peer  into  the  House  of  Lords  by  Durham  and  Welleslcy. 

1802,  Colonel  Despard  and  others  seized  and  charged  with  intending  to

ant  Dr.  Wolfred  Nelson  defeated  the  English  regulars  an'i^drovc  them  back,

at  captured  them,  resolved  on  striking  terror  through  the  country  by  mareh.

ith  iron  fetters  on  theiir  hands  and  feet,  and  ropes  around  their  n^QCks.    The 
opie  of  Longueiul  assembled  and  rescued  the  prisoners.    Ifti'mediately  a 
rce  of  800  men,  with  four  pieces  of  cannon  and  a  howitzer,  was  despatched, 
le  half  to  attack  St.  Denis,  the  remainder  to  storm  St.  Charles,  where  sev. 
alof  the  leading  reformers  from  Montreal  had  retired.     So  little  expccta. 
m  was  there  that  such  an  armed  force  would  be  sent  to  arrest  half  a  dozen 
'  eivilians,  that  no  preparation  bad  been  made  to  oppose  such  a  body  . — 
here  were  not  mors  than  thirty  men  at  St.  Denis  previous  to  the  arrival  of 
•  troops,  and  these  wero  collected  to  prevent  the  sudden  seizure  of  Dr. 
elson,  by  constables.     The  same  may  be  said  of  St.  Charles.     When  it  was 
own  that  the  troops  were  coming,  the  tocsin  was  sounded—  a  crowd  of  a. 
ut  300  men,  armed  some  with  fowling  guns,  and  others  with  pitchforks, 
sembled  at  St.  Denis,  and  aAer  an  engagement  Of  six  hours  and  a  half,

be  had  acquired  doierved  weigiit  and  influence.  Lord  Goalbrd  had  marked 
him  out  for  the  scaftbld,  but  fate  awarded  him  a  mo.«  (rlorious  death  in  the 
arms  of  victory. 

NOV.  25.     1837,  (Saturday)  BATTLE  OF  ST.  CHARLE.<3.— The  En. 
fliah,  about  700  strong  of  regulars,  infantry  and  cavalry  wore  led  against  a 
mob  of  honest  farmers,  3000  pcrhrps  in  number,  ill  arniml  and  ignorant  of 
war.     Colonel  Welherall  says :  "  The  march  was  accomplished  without  op. 
position  or  hindrance,  except  from  ihc  breaking  down  of  the  bridges,  dec.  &c. 
until  I  arrived  one  mile  from  this  place,  when  the  troops  were  fired  at  from 
the  lefl  or  opposite  bank  of  the  Richelieu,  and  a  man  of  the  Royal  Regiment 
wounded  ;  several  rifle-shots  were  also  fired  from  a  baro  immediately  in  our 
front.     I  burned  the  barn.     On  arriving  at  two  hundred  and  fifty  yards  from 
the  rebel  works,  I  took  up  a  position ;  they  opened  a  heavy  fire,  which  was 
returned.     I  then  advanced  to  another  position  ono  hundred  yards  from  the 
works;   but  finding  the  defenders  obstinate,  I  stormed  and  carried  them, 
burning  every  building  within  the  stockade,  except  that  of  the  honourable 
Mr.  Debartzch;  which,  however,  is  much  injured.    The  affair  occupied  a> 
bout  ono  hour.     The  slaughter  on  the  side  of  the  rebels  was  great :  only  six- 
teen prisoners  were  then  made.     I  have  counted  fifiy.six  bodies,  and  many 
more  were  killed  in  the  buildings,  and  their  bodies  burnt."    The  patriot  ac. 
count,  as  copied  into  the  U.  S.  papers  is  in  the  same  strain  as  that  of  Colonel 
Wetherall.     They  state  that  he  flanked  his  operations  by  a  murderous  dii. 
charge  of  grape  shot  upon  tha  .crowds  of  peasants,  adding  to  the  cannon-ball 
and  bullet  the  bayonet  and  torch.     The  farmers  fought  bravely  till  charged 
by  the  bayonet,  ^u^^hen  the  butchery  was  dreadful.     Upwards  of  one  hun- 
dred were  in  a  bam,  full  of  hay  and  straw,  which  was  set  fire  to,  and  they 
were  burned  alive  or  smothered.     The  malcontents  lost,  at  least,  five  hun- 
dred men  by  shot,  fire  and  water.     Another  account  states  that  nearly  one 
hundred  men  were  driven  into  the  river,  and  perished.     The  village  of  St. 
Charles  was  entirely  destroyed  in  the  attack  ;  the  houses  having  been  al. 
roost  all  fired  by  the  soldiery.     The  royalist  account,  in  the  N.  Y.  Albion  of 
Dec.  23J,  p.  406,  says  that   Col.  Wetherall  "  enfiladed   and  knocked   over 
the  pallisadeR,  with  his  artillcrv,  after  siluncingr  the  enemy's  guns,  formed 
line    andC^riARGED    WITH  THE  BAYONET,    UNDER  THE  OLD 
BRITISH  CIIEER.  Though  four  or  five  to  one  in  nnnibor,  the  poor  wretch, 
es  who  had  hitherto  stood  fire  well,   soon  broke,  but  not  before  the  troopi 
were  amongst  them.     Between  two  and  three  hundred  were  killed,  and  the 
remainder  fled  in  all  direclioos,  spreading  terror  and  dismay  far  and  near.— 
Col.  Wetherall  had  three  killed  and  seventeen  wounded,  only,  for  the  Cant. 
dians  fired  badly." 

1783,  New  York  evacuated  by  the  English  army.  G«gland  has  since 
sent  a  far  more  dangerous  force  of  Jews,  brokers,  bankers,  importers,  agent) 
quacks  and  speculators,  in  the  place  of  the  other,  who  teach  the  Americans 
thoiiC  infernal  arts  which  undermine  national  virtue  and  take  away  that 
peace  and  happiness  which  can  never  be  restored, 

NOV.  26.  1838,  Mr.  Kcilchen,  Rnssian  Consul  jit  Boston,  arrested  in 
the  catholic  church  of  Montreal,  and  his  trunks  rifled,  on  suspicion  of  con- 
spiracy to  aiii  iho  Canadi-'ins.  Colborno  released  him. — 1688,  KingJamei

Prince  of  Orange,  wsrt  invading  hia  kingdom,  the  other.  Princess  Anne, 
had  gono  off  to  his  enemies.  He  burst  into  tears,  and  cried,  "  God  help  me 
my  own  children  have  forsaken  me."  Much  neeid  have  kings  and  peasanti, 
slaves  and  masters,  of  faithful  and  true  instructors.  Prince&s  Anne  had 
been  educated  by  moan  divines  of  the  Church  of  England  to  take  pleasuie

otlier  villain*  kille  by  this  battle  was  that  traitor  Win.  Pitt.  Ho  began  life  a  refor. 
mer,  he  betrayed  h's  comrades,  was  an  evidence  n^ainst  them,  and  freedom's  bitter 
foe.  His  chief  cronies  were  Castlereagh  wiio  cut  his  throat  after  betraying  Ireland, 
and  Lord  Melville  who  robbed  the  public  wholesale,  until  even  the  tones  cried, 
•  Fie  upon  you !"  Austrelitz  sickened  Pitt — he  took  to  bed — and  on  the  23rd  of  Julj 
1806  jomed  the  bloody  crew  he  had  hired  to  war  against  liberty  on  this  side  tbt

REVOLT  NEAR  TORONTO,  1837,  Saturday.  Dr.  Rolph  sent  a  verbal  mei 
■age  to  Mr.  Gibson  and  Col.  Lount,  which  the  Colonel  and  also  Mrs.  Lount  stated  to 
me  as  follows — "  The  government  were  giving  out  the  arms  (of which  they  had  4O00 
•'  stand)  at  'he  city  Hall,  Toronto,  and  arnnngmen  to  fill  the  garrison,  and  form  couipa 
"  nies  to  arrest  the  leaders  of  the  expected  revolt,  through  the  country  betwixt  Biid 
"  next  Thursday  (the  day  we  were  to  rise);  the  government  had  given  out  1000  stand 
"and  beentold  of  our  plansfor  Thursday,  and  therefore  Col.  Lount  and  his  men  must 
"  be  in  town  on  Monday  night."  Tliere  was  no  word  of  concealing  arms,  no  letter. 
Mrs.  L.  received  the  messenger,  her  husband  being  from  home,  but  all  the  country 
knew  before  her  or  Col .L.  The  messenger  left  Gibson's  on  Sunday  at  4  in  the  morning, 
Mrs.  Lount  asked,  "Is  Mackenzie  aware  of  the  change?"  The  messenger  did  not 
know,  but  supposed  he  was.  Chief  Justice  Robinson's  brother  \Vm.  toiti  Mrs.  L, 
afterwards  "  tiiat  government  were  entirely  ignorant  of  the  day  of  the  revolt, 
"  and  that  a  story  had  been  iin;»oped  on  Dr.  R.  to  get  someUiing  out  ol"  hint."  He  fur- 
ther said  that  "  his  brother,  the  C.  J.,  and  the  Governor,  Head,  were  in  their  bedj 
"  whet-  "^ll  escaped  to  them  widt  the  news  that  the  rebels  were  at  his  heels, 

"  The  distrusted  nothing,  and  were  surprised  not  to  see  Toronto  in   flaines, 

'*  The^  t  know  what  to  do  for  the  city,  but  hastened  to  f)ut  their  goods  and  fa- 

"  milie       .  ooaid  the  Transit  stcurner,  determined  to  retreat  and  leave  the  capital  in 
"Mackenzie's  hands  the  moment  the  rebels  appeared.    Their  families  never  lell 
"the   steamer  until,  on   Thursday,  the  •  royalists  gained  the  victory."       Mrs.  L, 
like  me,  is  sure  that  the  Robinsons  were  for  the  revolt.      When  the  council  met  ad 
agreed  to  arrest  Mackenzie,  the  Chief  Justice  bade  them  "  let  him  alone."     Had  not 
matters  gone  too  far,  Col.  Lount  would  have  disobeyed  Dr.  R  b  order,  but  every  hodj 
knew.     The  going  was  very  bad.     "  I'm  afraid"   said  the  Colonel  to  his  wife  "that 
"  Dr.  Rolph  is  going  to  be  the  ruin  of  us.   I  believe  he  is  mistaken  as  to  their  finding 
•'  out  the  day — I  think  he'p  only  frightened."     Mr.  Silas  Fletcher  had  left  tlie  citt 
on  Saturday  night,  and  talke.l  with  men  of  all  parties  in  it,  and  been  all  over  it,  an'j 
had  not  heard  a  word  of  the  news  by  Dr.  R.  aoout  the  arms,  &,c.    He  came  to  Col 
Lount  and  said  Dr.  R.  was  mistaken,  for  all  was  quiet.     Dr.  R'snews,  however,  am 
the  intelligence  that  the  Canadians  i)elow  had  suffered  heavy  defeats  discourage) 
the  farmers.   Mackenzie  was  then  at  Stouffville,  delivering  sealed  letters  to  the  Ca- 
tains  of  town8hii)8  for  Thursday  the7rh.    That  Sir  F.  Head  was  entirely  ignorai 
of  our  designs  his  dispatches  show.     We  never  thought  of  a  delay  beyond  3ij  7tl 
After  our  defeat,  he  writes  to  Lord  Glenelg—  "  Mr.  Mackenzie,  under  these  favour! 
able  cirqumstances,  having  been  freely  permittad  by  me  to  make  every  preparatii 
in  his  power,  a  concentration  of  his  deluded  adherents,  and  an  attack  upon  the  city 
Toronto  were  eecredy  settled  to  take  place  on  the  night  of  the  19rii  instant."     The] 
did  not  begin  to  unpack  or  examine  the  anns  till  tlie  Tuesday !

s^e,  and  left  a  widow  and  eight  children  in  Canada.  His  wife  is  the  niece  of  Gene- 
ral Herkimer.  He  wrapped  the  tricolor  flag  round  hit  mangled  body,  lay  down, 
and  expired. 

Before  leaving  the  fleld.  Adjutant  Cheeseman  of  theUd  Essex,  brought  up  a  pris- 
oner whom  he  had  taken.    He  surrendered  him  to  Colonel  Prince,  who  ordered 
him  to  be  immediately  shot  on  the  spot  and  it  was  done.     The  man  was  flrst  shot  in 
the  shoulder  and  severely  though  not  mo'".ally  wounded — a  second  shot  carried 
away  part  of  his  cheek, — a  third  wounded  him  in  the  neck,  after  which  he  wasbayo- 
netted  to  death !     The  2d  prisoner,  (who  was  wounded)  was  brought  into  the  town 
of  Sandwich,  at  least  two  noura  after  the  engagement,  and  was  ordered  to  be  shot 
on  the   spot.     It  was  proposed  to  give  him  "  a  runybr /us ///e."     This  barbarous 
proposition  was  acceded  to  and  in  an  instant  a  dozen  muskets  were  levelled  for  his 
execution.     At  this  moment,  Col.  \Vni.  Elliott  exciuimed, '  D—n  you.  you  coward' 
ly  rascals, are  you  going  to  murder  your  prisoner!"     This  exclnmution  for  ore 
instant  retarded  the  fire  of  die  party,  but  in  llie  next  the  pri.soner  was  brought  to  iIir 
ground,  he  sprang  again  to  his  I'eet  and  ran  round  the  corner  oftl:«  fence  where  !'« 
was  met  and  bhot  through  the  iiead.      His  name  was  Bk.v.vk'IT.  Into  u  rcsitientin  ;l.o

sence of  several  ladies  and  children.      Another  prisoner  nasin' I  Dk>^i*oi«,   also 
wounded  and  unanned,  taken  after  the  action,  was  brought  in  durincr  U':C  morning. 
Charles  Elliot,  Esq.  who  was  present  when  Col.  Prince  ordered  tliis  man  r<i  lio  shot, 
entreated  that  he  might  be  reserved  to  be  dealt  with  according  to  the  lutes  of  the 
country,  but  Col.  Prince's  reply  was, '  D — "  the  rascalshoot  him,  and  it  was  dune ! !' 
When  Col.  Prince  reached  Windsor  he  was  informed  that  S  tephen  Miller,  one  of  the 
Patriots  was  lying  wounded  ut  the  house  of  Mr.  Wn).  Johnson.     The  man,  whoso 
leg  had  been  shattered  by  a  musket  ball,  had  been  found  by  Francois  Baby,  Esq 
Col.  Prince  pave  the  order  for  his  execution  and  he  was  dragged  out  of  the  house 
and  shot.     The  wounded  man  said  he  was  35  years  old,  owned  a  farm  in  the  'town 
of  Fiorence,  Huron  County,  State  of  Ohio,  and  he  had  a  wife,  and  a  boy  about   19 
years  old  ;  he  talked  about  his  wife  and  son,  and  wished   tlmt  his  wife  might  be 
written  to.     Soon  after  this  a  party  of  militia  men  dragged  him  out  of  the    house, 
and  shot  him.     Miller   was  wounded  between  7  and  8  in  the  morninsr  and  was  shot 
at  noon  :  the  action  was  over  about  8  o'clock.    MUIcr  lay  unburiea  all  night  in 
tkestreet  and  was  completely  disembowelled,  and  other  parts  of  him  eaten  by 
the  hogs  !  Capt.  Brodorick  of  the  Regulars  left  a  prison'ir  in  charge  of  a  dragoon  ; 
"  Prince  fell  in  with  this  prisoner,  ordered  him  to  be  taken  from  his  guard  and 
(Aot,  which  was  done."  !!    A  party  ofia  I  iaas  who  wysise  sent  into  the  woods,  took 
prisoners.     When  they  brought  tiiem  out  a  cry  was  rai.sed.  "bayonet  them!"  but 
ardn,  one  of  the  Indian  braves,  replied,  "  No,  we  are  Christians !  we  will  not 
urder  t/um!" — But  when  these  men  were  delivered  to  Col,  Prince,  he  had  them 
ilaced  in  a  waggon,  vid  when  it  reached  an  open  iipot  opposite  the  barracks,  he  com- 
Mnded  them  to  be  taken  out  and  shot.    On  this  Mr.  James  cried   "  For  Ood  s

years  afterwards,  tc  a  day  !  Hinollettsays,  the  monied  corporntious  and  trading  mo- 
nopoli'^is  of  London  were  in  dreadful  consternation,  and  well  they  might  be.  But

by  Mr.  Boucheite,  son  to  the  Surveyor  General,  ond  Julien  Uagnon,  with  2  cannon,  70 
muskets,  balls,  powder,  &.c.,  attacked  and  defeated  by  the  toiy  loyalists  of  ShefTord,

DEC.  7.— TOKONTO  REVOLT,  1837,  Monday  4lh,  to  Thursday  7th.  indusiva 
Early  on  Monday  morning.  Col.  Lount,  and  ONLY  lOU  men,  (Cupt.  Stewart,  R.  N. 
aaya  75  to  125)  left  the  borders  of  Lake  Bimcoe  for  the  city.  So  open  was  the 
movement,  tliat  the  whole  body  of  half  pay  otiicerson  their  fine  of  march  insf.ntly 
prepared  to  worn  Sir  Francis.  (See  Stewart's  Norrative.)  On  the  previous  night, 
MackenAe.  when  within  9  miles  of  Toronto,  heard  of  Dr.  Rolpli's  order,  and  sent  olf 
Mr.  Uibson's  man  to  Simcoe  to  stop  it,  and  informing  Col.  Lount  that  the  government 
had  given  out  no  arms,  and  were  entirely  ignorant  of  our  ilesigns,  except  of  course 
Mr.  Hogg's  story,  wliich  was  intended  for  Sir  Francis,  and  very  cleverly  told.  Mac- 
kenzie fclso  sent  for  Dr.  Rolph.  to  meet  him  and  Gibson  near  the  city,  which  he  did, 
about  one,  P.  M. ;  he  (Kolph)  having  previously  endeavored  to  countermand  his  or- 
ders to  Lount.  through  Mr.  Geo.  Bolton,  on  hnding  he  had  been  deceived,  Tlie 
three  were  unable  to  decide  on  the  precise  course  to  be  adopted  that  night,  because 
they  could  not  tell  whether  Lount  would  come  or  stay,  whetlier  if  he  came  he  would 
travel  secretly  so  that  his  men  might  bo  scattered  in  fanv.  houses,  cr  whether  he 
would  come  armed  and  openly  Uirough  the  mud.  In  the  evening  Mr.  Gibson's  man, 
brought  word  that  Lount  was  on  his  way,  and  the  rising  known  all  over.  That  moment 
messengers  were  despatched  in  every  direction  to  rouse  the  reformers ;  Mackenzie 
and  three  others  seized  every  suspicious  person  they  met  on  the  road,  and  confined 
them;  and  the  patriots  as  they  arrived,  fatigued,  hunm-«,  dispirited  and  disappointed, 
asked  for  Morrison,  Rolph,  &c..  and  for  the  thousands  they  expected  to  hove  met— 
If  750^acked  out  on  Tuesday,  100  could  ill  be  persuaded  to  go  forward  on  Monday. 
The  leaders  in  town  sent  us  no  word,  none  of  tnem  joined  the  body  they  had  called 
into  action,  nor  did  they  attempt  to  organize  or  marsnal  our  friends  in  the  city,  or  send 
on  some  of  the  boldest  among  them  to  cheer  the  countrymen.  Bidwell,  who  wa> 
anxious  for  our  success,  kept  aloof  from  the  storm  he  had  done  all  he  could  to  raise, 
and  thought  but  of  ««//*.     When  did  hs  think  of  any  thing  else  ? 

As  Mr.  William  Alves  behaved  throughout  with  great  courage  and  intrepidity,  hii 
reply  to  some  strictures  of  the  Editor  of  the  New  York  Reformer,  which  is  correct 
as  to  facts,  is  copied  from  that  journal. 

[E.XTRACTS  from  a  T.ETTEK  from  CilPT.  ALVES  TO  MR.  RUDD,  N.  Y.] 

''I  am  a  native  of  Scotland,  just  returned  from  a  British  Prison.     In  the  Canadian 
revolt  I  took  n  very  active  part:  witnessed  Mr.  Mackenzie's  conduct  from  first  to 
last ;  was  taken  prisoner  after  his  his  defeat :  and  in  the  winter  of  1837-8,  occupied  a 
cold  and  dismal  cell  in  company  with  the  gallant  Capt.  Mattliews  and  Gen.  Van  Eg- 
mond.    I  was  heavily  loaded  with  chains  and  fetters,  the  effects  of  which  and  the  ex 
cessive  cold,  wet  and  frost,  I  yet  feel.    One  of  my  comrades,  Capt.  M.,  was  removed 
from  the  dungeon  to  the  scaffold,  on  which  he  suffered  with  our  friend  Col.  Lount— 
Gen.  Van  Egniond  intreated  to  be  relieved  as  he  was  very  old,  but  they  kepthimj 
ii)  till  he  was  so  frozen  and  chilled  that  he  had  only  to  be  sent  to  tlieir  hospital  an^ 
thence  to  his  grave.    With  John  G.  Parker  and  others,  I  was  carried  to  Fort  Henry 
Quebec,  Liverpool  and  London,  and  should  now  have  been  in  slavery  in  Botany  Ba; 
had  not  Messrs.  Hume,  lioebuck,  Ashurst,  Falconer,  Hill,  and  other  generous  an( 
good  men,  taken  our  cause  before  the  Queen's  Courts  at  Westminster.     The  final  di 
cisionof  t' 10  judges  wasi  adverse  to  the  wishes  of  the  goverument,  and  Lord  Brougl 
am  brought  the  whole  matter  before  Parliament,  on  which  we  were  restored  to  liberttj 

"  You  assume  that  if  Mr.  Mackenzie  had  possessed  the  daring  (i  alities  some  han 
ascribed  to  him,  he  could  have  taken  the  Canadas  in  a  month  and  Toronto  in  a  nigl 
It  is  well  known  to  all  who  witnessed  his  conduct  that  it  is  not  to  any  want  of  ener| 
or  decision  on  his  part  that  the  failure  is  to  be  ascribed.  He  persevered  to  the  ve 
last.  A  hundred  of  the  bravest  citizens  could  have  been  armed  so  as  to  surprise  Ti 
ronto  any  night  at  an  hour's  notice  :  but  to  give  permanence  to  such  a  movemeiil 
was  necessary  that  the  country  should  be  prepared  to  support  the  town.  The  ne 
of  the  reverses  in  Lower  Canada  had  dispirited  many,  and  when  Col.  L.  arrived

the  town.     The  ne" 

hen  Col.  L.  arrived 


MuDigomery's  on  Monday  eveninf;,  he  had  with  him  only  eif  hty  or  ninety  wearied 
men,  who  had  marched  through  mud  and  mire  nearly  torty  miles,  carrying  their 
arms.  Of  the  condition  of  the  city  after  ten  in  the  inomiiig,  nothing  was  known. — 
None  of  the  gentlemen  who  had  called  out  this  party  either  joined  it.  or  sent  any  word. 
Had  Mr.  '  'uckenzie  been  the  leader,  Toronto  was  ours.  I  was  present  niidsaw  ail. 
Mr.  M.  actvised  that  a  guard  be  placed  on  the  roads,  and  with  three  ot  his  comrades 
secured  a  nutiibcr  of  prinoiiers.  He  advised  with  great  earnestness  that  wo  should 
instantly  march  and  take  possession  of  the  city,  and  oH'ered  to  head  thosu  who  would 
do  so.  I  well  remember  that  ho  was  very  generally  opposed.  (Jol.  Louni,  Mr 
Lloyd,  and  Mr.  Gibson,  who  came  later,  strongly  objected  to  his  proposal,  until  intel- 
ligence was  obtained  of  the  stat^  of  the  town,  or  until  our  numbers  vere  strengthen- 
ed. NVhen  his  intreaties  were  found  to  be  in  vain,  he  next  offered  to  risk  his  life  by 
riding  iuto  the  city  with  only  three  friends,  alliiough  a  warrant  for  high  treason  stared 
hun  in  the  face,  there  to  rouse  our  comrades,  gain  the  tidings  wistied  for,  prepare 
for  an  attack  as  early  in  the  night  as  possible,  and  bring  Doctors  Kolph  and  Murri- 
ton  back  with  him.  The  night  was  auite  dark.  They  had  not  rode  far  when  they 
met  Powell,  the  present  Mayor  of  Toronto,  and   Major  McDonell,  both  of  whom 

Mackeni.ie  arrested  and  sent  oack  with  Capt.  Anderson  and  Mr. ,  strictly 

charging  them  to  keep  the  prisoners  in  front.  Mackenzie  then  continued  his  course 
for  tiie  city  with  one  companion,  n  daring  act,  but  evidently  necessary  in  the  state  of 
feeling  of  the  men.  in  order  to  efl'ect  a  surprise.  Before  they  got  into  town,  Mayor 
Powell,  who  had  shot  Capt.  A.  with  a  concealed  pistol,  rode  past  them.  Mackenzie 
chased  and  came  up  with  him,  on  which  Powell  came  close  up  and  presented  a 
loaded  pistol  to  his  breast,  which  flashed  in  the  pan.  Mackenzie  fired  out  missed 
Powell,  who  escaped,  and  after  concealing  himself  behind  a  log,  reached  Sir  Francis 
and  awaked  him  from  his  sleep.  Mackenzie  re-captured  Major  McDonell  and  a 
person  whom  the  justices  had  sent  to  warn  the  government  of  iu  danger,  and  return- 
ed to  Montgomery's,  where  he  found  Col.  Moodie  of  the  British  army  dying,  nnd 
Capt.  Stewart  oi  the  Navy,  in  custody  ;  they  hod  shot  at  our  guards,  but  failed  to 
pass  them.  Other  messengers  whom  we  sent  to  town,  were  arrested.  No  07iecavie 
from  tlunce.  On  Tuesday,  at  noon,  we  were  on  our  march  to  the  city,  greatly  in- 
creased iu  strength,  when  we  met  Dr.  Rolph.  our  own  executive,  and  the  Hon.  Ro- 
bert Baldwin,  with  a  tlag  of  truce  from  Sir  Francis,  asking  what  we  wanted.  Our 
reply  was—  "A  free  Convent'  "*.  of  the  People."  They  returned,  and  Dr.  R.  adviaed 
us  to  fallow  him  in  half  an  hour,  which  we  did  in  two  divisions.  When  a  mile  from 
town  the  same  messengers  returned  and  brought  Sir  F'a  refusal,  and  then  Dr.  Rolph 
privately  advised  tliat  we  should  not  enter  uic  city  till  dark,  while  he,  meantime^ 
would  prepare  the  town  folks. 

"  We  marched  for  Toronto  again,  as  soon  as  it  was  dark,  about  750  men,  for  I  stood 
and  counted  tlicm  in  threes  as  they  passed  onwards.  We  had  taken  Capt.  Duggau 
and  others  of  Sir  F's  ofiicers  prisoners,  and  were  about  half  a  mile  from  the  market 
square,  when  a  party  of  the  royalists,  headed  by  the  sheriff,  fired  a  random  shot  and 
ran — there  were  about  15  of  them.  Col.  Louiit  and  those  of  our  riflemen  in  front, 
fired  back,  and  Mackenzie,  who  was  between  the  enemy  and  our  people,  narrowly 
escaped  a  shot  from  ourselves.  He  haste aed  back  and  bade  them  stop  firing,  but  a 
panic  had  seized  the  rear,  and  in  a  short  time  nearly  our  whole  force  was  on  the  re- 
treat. Mackenzie,  on  this,  handed  me  Ca;;.t.  Duggan'a  pistol,  and  ordered  me  to  ride 
back  and  tell  the  cowards  there  was  nothing  to  be  afraid  of.  I  did  so,  but  it  was  of 
no  use.  At  length  he  joined  me.  and  we  threatened  to  shoot  at  them  if  they  did  not 
halt.  When  they  came  to  a  stand.  Mackenzie  told  them  that  the  steamers  were  sent 
off  for  the  orangemen  of  the  other  districts ;  that  if  our  people  were  in  such  terror,  he 
had  no  doubt  the  torics  were  more  frightened  still ;  that  what  would  be  child's  play 
that  night,  might  be  impracticable  on  the  morrow,  and  then  asked  them  how  they 
could  think  of  looking  wife  or  sweetheart  in  the  face,  if,  after  all  their  pretended 
bravery  they  acted  the  part  of  poltroons,  and  let  slip  the  noblest  opportunity  of  deliv- 
ering Canacfa  ever  offered  to  man  ?  All  he  said  was  of  no  avail ;  he  then  asked  many 
persons  by  name  if  tliey  would  go;  and  at  length  said — "  Is  there  any  twenty  of  you 
that  will  accompany  me  into  the  city— join  our  friends  there,  who  await  us  in  hun- 
dreds, and  drive  the  tories  before  us  or  perish  in  the  attempt?"  I  said  I  would,  and 
two  or  three  others,  after  Mr.  M.  had  touched  their  feelings,  agreed  to  go ;  but  not 
more.  Next  morning,  although  there  were  many,  new  faces,  our  750  had  dwindled 
down  to  300.  Mackenzie  called  them  together,  apologized  for  his  strong  censures  of 
the  previous  nmht,  reminded  them  that  he  had  set  tliem  an  example,  which  if  they 
had  followed,  Toronto  might  have  been  theirs ;  told  them  that  the  enemy  had  been 
reinforced,  but  that  they  would  yet  succeed  if  they  had  confidence  in  themselves.

Colonel  liouni  ollen  acknowledged,  when  in  prison,  that  if  Mackenzie  had  got  his 
way  our  aucuess  wouM  liave !:  "en  certain. 

The  reader  will  at  onco  pciccive  that  if  Dr.  Rolph,  Dr.  Morrison,  ond  oihprii, 
I  may  not  yet  name,  had  joined  its,  they  would  have  encouraged  these  timid  far- 
mers, who,  when  they  saw  l>r.  R.  apnuar  as  Sir  Francis's  emissary  were  much 
discouraged,  as  wero  many  ail  over  the  country.  Or.  Morrison  was  so  full  of 
the  matter  sotno  titne  before  fl!,'htiti^  began,  that  ho  told  all  to  tho$<c  who  had  no 
right  to  know,  atid  that  was  all  Tie  did.  And  Dr.  Rolph  has  been  applying 
for  and  getting  certificates  t«)  tha  injury  of  Mackenzie,  and  asking  persons  to  give 
him  their  names  o-.i  a  blank  sheet  of  paper,  to  fill  un  as  he  may  think  fit,  with  a 
similar  object.  Uidwell  imitated  Peter,  and  denied  us  altogether,  and  being  an 
American,  was  at  onco  admitted  into  all  the  courts  of  N.  Y.,  while  Mackenzie, 
an  European,  went  to  a  jail !  We  concealed  B'a  name  as  long  as  it  was  neces- 
sary. But  if  those  leading  men  had  displayed  a  proper  share  of  spirit  all  might 
havcgone  right. 

THURSDAY,  7th.— By  nine,  A.  M.,  Sir  Francis  had  given  out  -1000  stand  of 
arms;  and  Mackenzie  attempted  tu  direct  his  attention  from  the  patriot  camp 
by  sendinea  body  of  60  to  make  a  sham  attack  on  the  city  on  the  East,  and  burn 
the  Don  Bridge:  even  in  this  he  was  thwarted  for  two  hours;  it  was  also  his 
desire  that  the  whole  patriot  force  should  form  themselves  into  marching  order, 
and  occupy  a  station  nearer  the  city,  whore  they  could  sec  all  that  the  royalista 
did,  and  regulate  their  movements  accordinglv.  Again  he  was  thwarted  by  the 
same  gentleman,  and  valuable  hours  occupicu  in  i  lie  discussion  until  it  was  too

DEC.  14.— 1837.  BATTLE  OF  ST.  EUSTACHE.43  This  beautiful  village 
is  21  miles  north  of  Montreal,  on  an  arm  of  the  OttJiwa.  on  the  high  banks  of  the  river. 
It  was  attacked  by  Sir  Jolm  Colbome  this  day  .  %  mm,  with  200  cavalry,  a  large 
train  of  artillery,  several  regiments  of  European  tsoldiers.  and  Canadian  LoyalisU, 
and  a  portable  giUowa  to  hang  the  leaders  wtio  might  betaken  alive  and  in  arms.— 
Sir  John's  anny  was  2,250  strong,  and  St.  Euatache  was  singled  out  for  vengeance, 
because  its  people  had  protected  from  arrest  some  of  the  honest  members  uf  Assern' 
bly  whom  the  government  sought  to  destroy.  The  Canadians,  as  at  St.  Dennis,  were 
some  300  persons,  badly  armed,  and  so  scarce  of  balls,  that  some  of  them  fired  off 
marbles.  They  were  manly,  and  took  possession  of  several  buildings  for  defence.— 
Dr.  Chenier  and  60  more  threw  themselves  into  tlie  church,  a  very  massive  building 
in  a  commanding  situation,  and  flanked  by  two  lone  stone  houses.  The  enemy  sur- 
rounded the  village  and  cut  off  all  retreat.  The  clergyman's  house  was  first  burnt, 
having  been  fired  with  Conareve  rockets,  and  the  people  who  retreated  to  the  cellari 
of  the  convent  were  either  burnt  or  stifled  to  death — the  soldiers  next  surrounded  the 
church,  under  cover  of  the  smoke,  and  two  officers  of  the  royals  set  fire  to  it,  leaving 
the  wounded  to  perish  in  the  flames ;  others  leaped  from  the  windows  and  were  met 
with  vollies  of  nmsketry.  Dr.  Chenier  and  a  few  brave  men  jumped  through  a 
window  into  the  grave  yard,  where  diey  fought  with  all  the  desperation  of  a  forlorn 
hope.  A  ball  soon  brought  their  leader  down,  but  he  rallied  his  sinking  strength, 
rose  and  discharged  his  gun  at  the  enemy — twice  again  he  was  brought  to  the  ground, 
and  twice  he  rose  to  the  attack.  The  fourth  time  he  fell  to  kise  a  o  more  !  Che 
Bier's  fall  was  the  signal  for  an  indiscriminate  slaughter  ofthe  remainder  of  his  brave 
band.  '•  NO  QUARTER"  was  the  cry,  and  with  few  exceptions,  all  were  masea' 
cred.  Some  few  made  for  the  ice,  in  the  hope  of  gaining  the  opposite  woods.  Oni 
by  one  they  were  picked  off  by  the  marksmen  posted  at  certain  distances,  and  th< 
stragglers  fell  and  perished  midst  the  bleak  wintry  snows  of  Canada. 

After  four  and  a  half  hours'  hghting,  ^ir  John  obtained  possession  of  the  rillage- 
many  lay  dead  and  wounded ;  the  stench  from  the  burning  bodies  was  very  offensive 
the  village  was  given  over  to  be  pillaged,  property  was  plundered,  women  violated, 
aud  seventy  of  the  best  houses  in  town  and  country  burnt  to  the  ground.  The  gallani 
Dr.  Chenier's  mutilated  body  was  exposed — his  clothing  stripped  from  his  yet  ware 
limbs— the  body  was  cut  into  four  quarters,  and  his  heart  torn  from  his  breast  mi 
exposed  to  the  gaze  of  the  barbarous  soldiers.  His  property  was  destroyed  ;  eve 
bis  beautiful  and  accomplished  wife  had  to  fly  for  her  life.  Night  closed  upon  En$ 
land's  sacking  of  St.  Eustache,  and  the  whole  country  round  seemed  one  sheet  0 
flan)e,  in  tlte  midst  of  the  horrors  of  Canadian  winter.  All  powerful  God,  in  diy  owi

John  Colborne,  was  at  the  battle.  He  says,  tlie  En^lii^h  soldiers  and  their  officers 
were  so  exasperated  against  the  Canadiims.  that  "it  was  a  service  of  danger  to  at? 
tempt  to  save  the  life  of  one  of  these  poor  creatures."  About  midnight  he  went  to 
see  the  church  ;  die  floor  had  been  bunit  to  cinders,  and  "  between  the  sleepers  were 
scattered  the  remains  of  human  beings,  injured  in  various  degrees;  some  with  mere- 
ly the  clothes  burnt  off,  leaving  the  naked  body;  while  here  and  there  the  blackened 
ribs  were  all  that  the  fierce  flames  had  spared.  Not  only  inside  of  tlie  church,  but 
without  its  walls,  was  the  same  revolting  spectacle ;  and  farther  of  were  bodies  still 
unscathed  by  fire,  but  frozen  hard  by  the  severity  of  the  weather." 

1837,  THE  U.  C.  CONVENTION,  dated  in  September,  was  to  have  met, 
had  the  people  and  their  leaders  possessed  courage  enough  to  free  their  country, 
when  no  enemy  from  without  opposed  them.  What  rimit  had  they  to  convene? 
The  same- that  the  Barons  had  who  obtained  Magna  Chartu— or  th&Conven* 
tions  who  recalled  Charles  2nd,  and  crowned  William  3d.  The  Convention  did 
meet  on  the  HthofDecember,  but  it  was  on  Navy  Island,  Canada,  and  the  IT.  S. 
Govsrnment  has  bestowed  18  months'  imprisonment  on  the  chairman  oftbtt 
day,  for  daring  so  to  assemble. 

DEC.  13.  1837.  Colborne's  destroying  arm^  enter  St.  Benoit.  Encounter 
no  resistance.  Three  hundred  farmers  meet  him  with  white  handkerchiefs  in 
their  hands  as  a  token  of  peace.-  Vast  numbers  arc  arrested  and  sent  off  to 
Montreal  Jail ;  hundreds  take  to  the  woods ;  Colborne  and  suite  remain  all  night 
in  the  village,  which  they  give  up  to  plunder. 

DEC.  16.  1837,  Colborne  and  his  army  return  from  St.  Benoit  or  Grand 
Brule,  having:  first  set  it  on  fire  and  rifled  it  of  every  valuable  they  could  carry 
off.  AMURY  GIKOD,  a  native  of  Switzerland,  one  of  the  leaders,  was  stopt 
on  his  way  to  the  United  States,  through  (ho  ofl^ciousness  of  John  Taylor,  of 
Long  Point.  When  escape  seemed  inevitable  he  shot  himself.  His  body  was 
brought  to  St.  Benoit;  beheaded;  his  head  exposed  on  a  pole;  a  stake  driven 
through  his  body,  and  the  body  buried  at  the  cross  of  four  roads  as  a  mark  of  the 
infamy  attached  to  the  Canadian  cause.  Even  the  London  Times  denounces 
Colborne's  "  infernal  acts"  here,  but  England's  Q,ueen  approves.  The  Quebec 
Cavaditn  states  that  in  one  month  to  this  date,  500  Canadian  houses  were  burnt 
down,  and  property  destroyed  to  the  value  of  upwards  of  one  million  of  dollars. 

DEC.  18.  1688,  KING- J  AMES  having  left  London  on  the  previous  day,  his 
Bon-in-law  enters  it,  and  takes  possession  of  the  royal  palace.  'I'he  English  law* 
vers  came  to  address  him,  headed  by  old  Sergeant  May  nard,  aged  nearly  ninety. 
The  Prince  told  him  he  had  outlived  all  the  lawyers  of  his  time.  Maynard  re- 
plied, that  but  for  the  arrival  of  his  highness,  he  would  have  tiurvivcd  the  law  it- 
•elf.  "  He  was  an  old  roffue  for  all  that,"  says  Swift,  and  Mcintosh's  Revolu- 
tion adds,  "  that  the  destroyers  of  the  law  were  the  lawyers,  its  own  offspring, 
by  their  iniquitous  judgments,  corrupt  pleadings,  and  sycophant  petitions."  The 
like  might  be  said  of  the  U.  C.  lawyers,  aa  a  whole ;  tney  were  the  most  worth- 
iest, rotten  and  venal  tribe  on  the  face  of  the  earth,  and  the  Judges  were  like  un- 
to  them. 

DEC.  19,  1838.  Execution  of  Colonel  MARTIN  WOODRUFF  at  Kiugston. 
He  was  a  deputy  sheriff,  Salina,  Onondaga  Co.  N.  Y.  His  enthusiasm  in  favor  of  the 
Canadians  was  boundless — he  came  to  Navy  Island,  with  aid  to  the  Patriots — was 
ready  to  serve  at  French  Creek  had  there  been  a  Commander,  and  exhibited  great 
coolness  and  courage  at  the  Wind  Mill.  A  few  militia  officers  were  collected,  who 
ordered  him  to  execution.  The  Kingston  Spectator,  thus  describes  the  scene  of  his 
murder,  of  which  Victoria  and  her  bloody  cabinet,  heurtily  approved.  This  gallant 
soldier  was,  "  about  sunrise,  brought  from  Fnrt  Henry  upon  a  rough  carter's  train 
or  sleigh,  attended  by  two  priests,  escorted  by  a  party  of  volunteer  cavalry,  to  the 
jail,  and  soon  after  to  the  door  leading  to  the  scaffold,  when  the  Sheriff  read  Arthur's 
warrant  to  execute  him ;  he  was  then  placed  on  the  platform,  the  cap  pulled  over  bis 
face,  and  the  hangman  placed  the  rope  to  a  hook  in  tlie  beam  over  head.  The  plat- 
form fell  and  presented  a  revolting  disgusting,  and  disgraceful  scene.  The  knot  in- 
stead of  drawing  tight  under  his  ear,  was  brought  to  tlie  chin ;  it  did  not  slip  but  left 
space  enouch  to  put  a  hand  within ;  the  chief  weight  of  the  body  bearing  upon  tho 
rope  at  the  back  of  the  neck.  The  body  was  in  great  agitation,  and  seemed  to  suffer 
greatly.  The  spectators  said  it  was  shameful  management,  when  two  hangmen  came 
out,  endeavored  to  strangle  the  sufferer  and  not  having  succeeded  they  returned 
again  tu  their  disgusting  work.  "  The  Port  Ontario  Aurora  says :  his  neck  was  not 
broken,  till  the  hangman,  on  the  cross-tree,  had  pulled  him  up  by  the  collar  and  let 
hus  fall  four  times  in  succestioa.  After  tliis,  the  inhuman  brute  struck  bis  heeU  seve-

Governor  Marcy,  that  he  deliver  up  to  Judge  Bethune  his  messenger,  Mackenzie,  a 
rebel,  traitor,  &c.,  Govenior  Marcy  replied  that— Mackenzie's  offence  was  political 
and  he  could  not  give  him  up — moreover  as  he  was  on  Navy  Island,  Upper  Canada, 
and  Sir  Francis  would  find  him  there. — C.  H.  M'Collora  of  Belleville,  U.  C.arreated 
on  a  charge  of  high  treason — liberated  on  condition  of  banishment.

Attorney)  from  Rochester,  N.  Y.  "  There  is  much  excitement  here  ;  forty  soldierj 
'  marcliin<|  the  streets  of  Rochester  to  day  under  drum  and  fife ;  two  pieces  of  can- 
'  non  went  off  this  morning;  and  three-fourths  of  the  people  here,  I  learn,  are  en^ 
'  couraging  and  promoting  the  thing;  and  seven-eighths  of  the  people  at  Buffalo  and 
'  all  along  the  lines  are  taking  strong  interest  in  the  cause  of  the  Patriots ;  many  furu- 
'  ishing  arms,  and  large  (quantities  of  provisions  contributed  and  forwarded  to  them, 
'  and  volunteers  continually  going  on." 

DEC.  22.  1-338,  JOSEPH  NARCISSE  CARDINAL,  member  of  the  parliament 
of  Lower  Canada,  aged  30,  (left  a  wife  and  5  children) ;  and  JOSEPH  DUQU- 
ETTE, .student  at  law,  aged  22,  were  this  day  hung  at  Montreal,  for  nobly  at- 
tempting to  free  their  country  from  the  English  yoke.  They  were  brought  before  a 
dozen  of  hired  assassins  in  red  coats  called  a  court  martial,  and  ordered  to  the  Eng 
lish  shambles  forthwith.  They  were  delivered  up  to  their  murderers  by  the  Caugn- 
nav.'aga  Indians  who  petitioned  for  their  life.  Cardinal  was  hung  twice,  while  Col- 
borne and  his  brutal  band  sat  at  their  windows  enjoying  the  horrid  scene  ! !  Madame 
Cardinal,  in  the  last  mondis  of  pregnancy,  threw  herself  at  the  feet  of  Lady  Col- 
borne, supplicating  her  interference  in  behalf  of  her  husband. — Lady  C.  offered  the 
broken  hearted  supplicant — five  dollars!  Cardinal  and  Duquette  were  in  Jail, 
Nov.  4th,  Martial  law  was  proclaimed  on  the  5th,  and  the  ordinance  constituting 
Clitherow's  Court  Martial  on  the  8th,  so  that  they  were  tried  under  a  proclamation 
issued  after  they  were  \n  jail ! !  Delisle,  the  High  Constable  was  one  of  the  officers 
at  the  execution  and  while  Mr  Duquette,  was  slowly  walking  towards  the  scaffold  he 
pulled  suddenly  the  rope  round  his  neck,  precipitating  him  to  the  ground.  Mr.  Car- 
dinal reprimanded  him. — "  It's  good  enough  for  a  dog  of  a  rebel,"  was  the  reply. 
While  the  two  sufferers  stood  upon  the  scaffold,  they  bade  one  another  a  parting 
adieu  for  this  world — the  next  moment  the  drop  fell;  Mr.  D.  fell  longitudinally,  break- 
ing some  of  his  teeth  and  cutting  his  face  on  the  railing  round  the  scaffold ;  his  suf- 
ferings were  excruciating;  several  times  he  begged,  for  God's  sake,  to  have  an  end 
put  to  his  agony,  by  killing  him.  Twenty  long  minutes  elapsed  before  another  rope 
could  be  prepared  !  it  was  then  passed  around  bis  neck  and  tied  to  the  fixture,  the 
first  rope  was  then  cut,  and  in  a  few  moments  after  this  second  hanging,  he  was  num- 
bered with  the  dead.

prisoners  and  6  brass  cannon,  losing  only  9  of  his  men.  Throughout  the 
whole  campaign  GEN.  MERCER  is  stated  by  all  parties  to  have  power, 
fully  aided  Washington,  and  behaved  with  the  utmost  bravery  and  skill, 
in  this,  the  very  darkest  hour  of  American  suffering  and  misfortune.  On  the 
morning  of  the  3rd  of  Jan.,  1777,  Washington  decided  to  attack  Princetown, 
and  MERCER  lod  tiie  VAN  of  the  gallant  band.  In  the  evening  Mercer 
encountered  three  Euglish  Regunents,  and  a  deadly  struggle  ensued,  in 
which  h«*  fell,  dangerously  wounded,  whiU  rallying     .e  American   militia.

1837.  INVASION  OF  THE  STATE  OF  NEW  YORK.  BURNING 
OF  THE  CAROLINE. — [Explanation  of  the  Frontispiece.— 1  repre 
sents  Mr.  Ditrfee  lying  on  the  wharf  by  the  ware  house  at  Schlosser,  N.  Y., 
weltering  in  his  blood.  He  was  shot  in  the  back  of  the  head— 2  shows  the 
murderers  in  their  boats  returningto  Chippewa, where  the  lights  are  seen  at  3, 
4  is  a  view  of  the  ill-fated  vessel  passing  onwards  with  fearful  speed  towards 
the  great  falls,  in  a  blaze  of  tiame,  the  elements  of  fire  and  water  combining 
in  tiieir  fury  to  send  into  eternity  those  who  had  hid  themselves  in  the  boat 
from  the  dagger  of  the  assassin.  A  faint  view  of  2  or  3  persons  holding  out 
their  hands  in  desperation  may  be  seen  near  the  bows  of  the  boat.  The  En- 
gli»h  ofhcial  account  is  that  si,v  were  killed  ;  the  Americans  say  eleven.] 

Tlie  Steamboat  Caroline  took  out  a  license  at  Buffalo  as  a.  ferry  boat  for 
passengers — sailed  to  Tonavvanda — thence  to  Schlosser,  and  twice  between 
it  and  Navy  Island — Schlosser  contains  an  o];!  store  house  and  a  small  inn. 
At  5  in  the  evening  the  Caroline  was  moored  at  the  wharf — the  tavern  being 
very  full,  a  number  of  the  gentlemen  took  beds  in  the  boat — in  all  about 
33  persons  slept  there.  A  watch  was  placed  on  deck  at  8,  the  watchmen 
unarmed — there  was  only  one  pocket  pistol  on  board,and  no  powder ;  at  raid. 
night,  the  Caroline  was  attacked  by  five  boats  full  of  armed  men  from  the 
Englisli  army,  at  Chippewa,  who  killed  [as  themselves  say]  six  ir.en,  or  as 
the  Amrrican  account  has  it,  eleven.  A  number  were  severely  wounded, 
as  the  people  in  theAmerican  port,could  make  no  resistance.  To  kill  them  was 
therefore  a  wanton  assassination.  The  cry  of  the  assailants  was  "  g — d  d — n 
them — no  quarter — fire,  fire  !"  Amos  Durfee  of  Buffalo  was  found  dead 
upon  the  dock,  a  musket  ball  having  passed  through  his  head.  The  Caro- 
line sailed  under  the  American  flag,  which  the  assailants  took  to  Toronto,- 
and  displayed  at  annual  festivals,  in  honor  of  this  outrage.  She  was  set  in 
ablaze,  cut  adrift  and  sent  over  the  falls  of  Niagara.  We  witnessed  the 
dreadful  scene  from  Navy  Island.  The  thrilling  cry  ran  around  that  there 
were  living  souls  on  board ;  and  as  the  vessel,  wrapt  in  vivid  flame,  which 
disclosed  her  doom  as  it  shone  brightly  on  the  water,  was  hurrying  down  the 
resistless  rapids  to  the  tremendous  Cataract,  the  thunder  of  which,  morn 
awfully  distinct  in  the  midnight  stillness,  horrified  every  mind  with  the  pre. 
scnce  of  their  inevitable  fate  ;  numbers  caught,  in  fancy,  the  wails  of  dying 
wretcbe*,  hopelessly  perishing  by  the  doable  horrors  of  a  fate  which  nothing

where  the  patriots  had  hoisted  their  flag,  and  waited  for  them,  and  attack  an 
unarmed  boat  in  N.  Y.  State,  and  in  the  dead  of  night,  butcher  thoin  in  cold 
blood  '.  Sir  Francis  Head  planned;  ordered,  and  sanctioned  the  whole  massi.

Royal  thanks.     fl^Sir  John  Colhorne  is  also  created  Lord  Scaton!/3l 

McNab  in  his  ('esnatches  says—"  I  was  informed  by  eittzeva  from  Buffalo  that 
theCaruKno  would  be  down  that  night."  The  editor  of  the  Star  stated  that  hi 
understood  thot  Dr.  Thomas  M.  Koote,  of  the  Commercial,  and  John  McLoan, 
ex-judgo  of  Seneca  Coiinrv,  were  that  night  McNab's  gupits  in  his  camp.  Wai

abyss  beneath— (loud  cheers.)  Gentlemen,  /  glory  in  hiaring  been  one  of  tlwie

Herald,  "  Cul.  Holmes  and  the  officers  of  his  brigade,  held  their  first  regiments 
mess  dinner  at  Orr's  Hotel.  The  room  was  decoratea  with  transparencies  of  hci 
Majesty,  the  Duke  of  Wellington,  Britannia,  the  steamer  Caroline  in  flames  de 
acending  the  Fulls  of  Niagara,  and  a  globe  with  the  motto,  "The  British  empire, 
on  which  the  sun  never  sets."  Sir  Allan  N.  McNab  was  toasted,  and  manj 
jokes  cracked  at  the  expense  of  the  unfortunate  Americans  in  the  Caroline.

DEC.  30.  1938,  ANTHONY  O.  W.  G.  VAN  EGMOND,  a  native  of  Holland, 
and  formerly  Colonel  in  the  army  of  Napoleon,  settled  many  years  in  the  Huron 
Tract,  Upper  Canada,  where  he  owned  about  15,000  acres.  As  he  happened  n 
be  near  Toronto  when  the  difficulties  took  place  there,  ho  was  arrested  on 
Thursday  the  7lh  of  December,  immediately  after  the  battle,  and  lodged  in  To- 
ronto jail.  He  had  committed  no  act  of  violence  agamst  the  government,  anil 
there  was  no  pretext  for  detaining  him,  but  he  was  a  danceroiis  man  on  aecouni 
of  his  military  talent,  which  waa  of  the  first  order,  and  his  known  republican 
principles.  Accordingly,  the  Governor,  Council  and  Hagerman,  held  a  consulta- 
tion, the  result  of  which  was  that  Colonel  Van  Egmond,  in  his67th  year,  wai 
ordered  down  to  one  of  the  coldest  of  the  cells  underground.  The  water  had  ru< 
into  the  cell,  upon  the  clothes  under  which  he  lay,  and  they  were  found  now 
morning    frozen  to  the  ground,  and  the  old  Colonel  all  but  perished.— The 

Ehysicians  were  sent  for,  to  keep  up  appearances,  and  they  at  once  saw  thai 
e  was  done  far.  He  was  ordered  to  be  sent  to  the  hospital,  and  this  day  h( 
breathed  his  last.  This  is  English  GK)vernment  in  Canada.  May  God  in  his  io 
vng  kindness  to  the  sons  of  men  deliver  the  earth  from  such  a  dreadful  curse.- 
Russian  despotism  is  paternal  affection  when  compared  to  the  brutal  sway  o 
England. 

1813,  The  City  of  BUFFALO  burnt  by  the  English  in  the  midst  of  the  frosii 
and  snows  of  a  Canadian  winter.  Only  one  house  was  left  standing. — 1746

iDrTO  THE  l*ISOPL.E  OV  UPPER  CANADA  I  JfJ 

Since  crossing  the  Niagara  in  January,  1B3R,  1  have  ascertained — that  the  re> 
puhlicanformsof  the  Eovernmenls  of  those  United  Stales  serve  as  a  ncantle  tocon- 
ccal  from  the  people  tVie  aristocratic  machinery  which,  as  in  England  more  open* 
ly,  moves  the  vpobcI  of  the  state.  In  this  great  country  of  New  York,  the  law- 
yers protect  their  monopoly  by  seven  years  opprenticesnips,  and  at  least  as  many 
varieties  of  rules  ot  life,  taken  from  England,  tier  colonics,  state  legislation,  con- 
gress atatutes,  foreign  treatifs,  and  British  common  laW,  as  are  in  use  among 
yourselves.  The  administration  of  justice  is  exclusively  in  the  hands  of  those 
monopolists,  the  judges  being  often  selected  by  the  Banking  influence,  from 
among  the  most  intolerant  and  exclusive  ofthe  members  of  the  bar.  Equal  rights 
ind  the  truths  of  the  Declaration  of  Independenccare  not  andcannotbe  enjoyed 
in  the  midst  of  a  thousand  city,  village,  clerical,  manufacturing,  railroad,  canal, 
and,  worst  of  all,  banking  corporations,  every  one  of  them  more  exclusive  than 
another.  They  are  the  props  of  the  British  monarchy  beyond  the  sea ;  they  are 
England  s  fortresses  on  the  continent  of  America.  The  influence  of  the  press  up- 
on the  people  here  is  very  great ;  and  the  tongues  of  the  lawyers  and  the  pens  of  the 
editors  move  in  implicit  obedience  to  the  same  monicd  power  which  has  prostrated 
the  last  remains  of  freedom  in  Britain.  Even  the  President  of  the  republic  has 
come  forward  and  ocknowlcdged,  that  os  the  United  States  is  200  millions  of 
dollars  in  debt  to  ihu  English  capitalists,  and  paying  them  over  ten  millions  of 
apecio  in  tribute  annually,  and  as  America  clings  to  an  anti-republican, fluctuating 
paper  currency,  issued  by  her  enemies,  in  pre^>renco  to  a  gold  and  silver  one  of 
her  own,  the  monoy  power  of  England  controls  this  nation,  ctuscs  her  banks  to 
atop  payment,  deranges  her  finances  at  will,  and  might  even  embarrass  her  go- 
vernment in  the  hour  of  its  utmost  need.  England  hns  a  .itnnding  army,  and 
iho  government  hei'e  is  quietly  increasing  the  cfSciency  of  a  like  prop  of  monar- 
chy. The  Church  of  England,  in  England,  is  richly  endowed.  In  this  State 
alone  its  priests  own  sixty  millions  value  of  estate.  So  we  have  an  established 
church  in  right  earnest,  aye,  and  jnorelhan  one.  The  State  Legislature,  whe- 
ther whig  or  democrat,  meets  but  to  increase  the  burthens  of  the  people,  lich 
capitalists  pass  laws  for  poor  laborers,  but  as  to  republican  legislation,  where  is 
it  to  be  found?  In  the  Congrosii,  n  majority  of  prerega..ve  made  lawyers  shew 
far  more  respect  for  English  Parliamentary  customs  than  American  Institutions; 
and;  as  far  as  I  can  judge,  the  two  great  parties  of  ins  and  outs,  whose  leaders 
move  the  people  as  if  they  were  two  contendimr  armies,  are  the  very  counter- 
parts  of  the  British  Whigs  ai>d  Tories,  and  equally  honetl  and  disinteretlid  in 
all  they  say  and  do !  The  ballot,  of  which  I  was  much  in  favor  when  with  you, 
would  be  no  adequate  protection  to  the  poor  voter  in  the  present  state  of  society 
in  England,  neither  does  it  protect  the  people  here.  Corruption  is  powerful  in 
England  and  with  you,  but  beyond  its  influence  here  I  should  think  that  notfaiog 
could  go. 

The  machinery  of  the  state  and  general  governments  is  becoming  daily  more 
complicated  and  difficult  to  be  understood.  The  people  are  in  the  main  true  to 
the  faith  of  their  fathers,  and  desirous  to  walk  in  the  good  old  paths,  but  party 
legislation,  party  orators,  party  presses,  and  party  organization  neutralize  even 
universal  suffrage,  and  impel  them  to  lake  sides  in  a  contest  whore  their  inter- 
ests are  but  little  cared  for,  just  as  their  brethren  in  Ei.giand  follow,  one  iialf 
Poel  and  Wellington,  and  t'other  half  Russell  and  Melbourne. 

So  long  as  our  friendc  iii  the  United  States  choose  to  submit  to  such  a  system 
we  have  no  right  to  interfere  with  them ;  we  should  keep  our  attention  flrmly 
directed  to  one  point,  and  that  is  political  INDEPENDENCE  both  of  England 
and  this  Union.     Where  they  have  improved  on  their  European  models  let  us 

?rofit  by  the  example,  and  where  they  nave  failed  let  us  take  a  timely  warning. 
'he  proper  formal  notion  of  government  is  the  annexation  of  pleasure  to  soma 
actions  and  pain  and  privation  to  others,  in  our  power  to  do  or  forbear,  and  of 
which  we  hove  notice  before  hand  by  means  of  well  known  fixed  laws.  Thus 
it  is  that  Gud  govrrns  the  world,  and  the  nearer  we  approach  to  the  Inw  of  na- 
ture, the  happier  wo  will  be.  But  in  these  United  Stales,  the  Inws  are  so  numc- 
foils  and  inconsistent  with  cncii  other  and  with  reason,  that  they  are  often  little 
knpwn  or  notoriously  disobeyed.  Such  also  is  the  English  system,  and  it 
briiu;s  its  punishmetu  with  it. 

Iwjr  darling  wish  for  twenty  years  was  to  see  one  great  federal  union  of  th# 
nations  of  North  America,  by  which  means  I  expected  a  perpetual  ueace  to  be 
maintained.     But  the  time  is  not  yet  come.     The  sooner  w«ge.  ria  of  Kng^isu

Caroline  Almanac,  and 


power,  the  natureof  which  this  Almanack  faithfuMy  describes,  thcbettnr,  While 
England  keeps  five  milliona  of  her  home  subjects  in  poor-house  bastiles  or  for 
factory  j  work,  we  can  have  nothing  to  hope  from  her  smse  of  justice;  audit 
would  be  no  enviable  condition  to  become  the  miserable  dependants  of  the  slave 
owners  of  the  south  and  the  usurers  of  the  north,  by  exchanging  the  yoke  of 
Victoria  for  that  of  Conaress. 

Tho  timo  of  your  finalemancipation  is  perhaps  nearer  than  vou  imagine.  Even 
here,  shut  up  from  society,  withm  the  gloomy  wallsof  arepuoiicanpiinitentiary, 
by  an  American  President,  at  the  call  of  an  Entrlish  minister,  for  the  love  I  bear 
to  Canadian  Liberty,  I  rejoice  in  the  anticipation  of  that  blessed  day,  whea  the 
Bun  shall  cease  to  shine  on  a  British  slave  from  one  end  nf  Canada  to  the  other. 
I  write  at  this  time  to  bid  you  prepare  for  that  happy  period,  and  would  earnestly 
request  you  to  consider  some  suggestions  concerninga  government,  consiituiioii 
and  code  of  laws  which  are  printed  herewith.  The  views  they  convey  may  be 
innperfect,  but  my  object  is  to  lead  you  to  reason  and  reflect,  keeping  always  in 
mind  that  if  you  aspire  to  that  great  good  of  leaving  to  your  cf  ilriren  republican 
institutions,  elective  throughout,  you  must  avoid  the  grand  error  of  the  legisla- 
tors of  these  states,  who  yielding  to  the  ambition,  covetou&ncss  and  avarice  of  a 
few,  have  covered  the  face  of  their  country  with  gainful  monopolies  the  grave  of 
democracy. 

The  sufferings  of  the  reformers  among  you,  by  impiisonment,  torture,  starva- 
tion, and  noon  day  robbery,  have  been  very  great,  but  it  is  probable  that  they 
were  essential  to  laying  broad  and  deep  the  foundations  of  rational  freedom  in 
your  land.  Had  you  embraced  the  opportunity  offered  you  in  December,  1837, 
and  achieved  your  liberty,  I  fear  it  would  have  bren  too  lightly  valued.  Your 
European  oppressors  show  very  little  statesmanship  in  their  aitempts  to  unite  for 
internal  legislation  a  counti^  I'SOO  mileu  long,  and  filled  with  people  of  different 
customs  and  languages.  They  desire  to  saddle  Lower  Canada  with  four  mil- 
lions of  debt,  of  which  it  never  borrowed  or  received  one  dollar !  But  all  their 
schemes  have  failed  and  will  fail;  and  by  means  of  internal  disturbances  in 
the  United  Kingdom,  or  a  short  crop,  or  other  causes  of  financial  derangement!) 
there,  or  thro'  a  quarrel  with  Russia,  France,  or  Ireland,  or  trouble  at  Constan- 
tinople, you  may  be  speedly  relieved  from  their  military  power  and  left  to  govern 
yourselves. 

As  to  the  chances  of  a  rupture  between  England  and  these  States,  it  is  diiiicult 
to  reason  upon  them.  The  Melbourne  ministry  may  pive  way  to  Peel  and  the 
Tories,  but  what  their  policy  would  bo  perhaps  even  themselves  could  not  now 
clearly  foresee.  It  ts  probable  it  would  be  more  warlike  than  that  of  Lord  Pal- 
meraton.    It  could  not  be  more  peaceful  (seemingly)  than  that  of  Mr.  Van  Buren. 

But  appearances  here  may  be  deceptive.  Out  of  ttie  North  East  Boundary 
difficulties  war  may  come  and  that  speedily,  and  thus  rid  us  of  the  English  yoke. 

If  the  best  of  ihe  Irish,  English  and  Scottish  Soldiers,  now  in  Canada,  could 
he  made  acquainted  with  the  true  character  of  the  Government  they  serve,  as 
exhibited  in  the  Caroline  Almanack,  I  think  they  would  at  once  decide  to  fight  no 
longer  under  the  bloody  cross  ^f  St.  George  against  their  own  own  flesh  and 
blood.  There  are  a  thousand  ways  in  which  the  more  patriotic  of  your  citizens 
might  thwart  their  invaders  and  make  them  uncomfortable;  and  I  declare  toyo". 
that  so  long  as  one  English  bayonet  stands  unsheathed  for  your  coercion,  I  think 
it  your  duty  io  use  everv  exertion  to  oblige  the  tyrants  who  sustain  it  to  retroce 
their  steps.  Take  no  tnought  for  me.  If  you  have  read  Mr.  Van  Buren's  letter 
to  Lord  Durham,  as  published  in  the  London  Times,  you  can  readily  conceive 
that  if  Governor  Thomson  has  sent  his  compliments  to  Washington,  with  a  re-> 
quest  that  I  may  be  detained  other  twelve  months  in  this  peniteiiiiary,  no  efforts 
of  the  generous  people  of  America  will  be  at  all  ayrilable  foi  my  release,  unless 
the  commencement  of  hostilities  change  the  American  policy. 

In  June  or  July  next  I  intend  to  publish  10,000  copies  of  an  Almanack  for  1841, 
Bomewhat  larger  than  this,  which' will  contain  a  code  of  laws  suitable  for  Upper 
Canada,  according  to  my  views,  with  this  advantage  over  the  present  systenv, 
that  every  body  will  be  able  to  understand  them.  Someof  ycu  might  aid  me  in 
this  publication  by  donations  or  orders  with  money  in  advance,  and  others  by 
paying  the  sums  due  me  so  far  as  it  may  be  convenient.    My  books  of  accourtt, 

Totes  of  hand,  and  records,  were  burnt  by  those  to  whom  I  en'ruat'jd  theilf  in 
837. 

The  tasks  you  have  assigned  me  for  many  years  past,  have  been  often  vetyjae- 
verfl,  but  I  tsko  pleasnrc  in  the  reflection  that  I  never  shrunk  from  tho  lm«

nesathan  during  many  yearn  previous,  but  even  among  the  felons  and  prostitutes 
of  a  frontier  prison  I  have  learnt  many  useful  lessons,  especially  as  to  prison  dis* 
cipline  and  the  necessity  of  being  ju.t  and  equitable  in  the  infliction  of  punish- 
ments. 

Perhaps  liOt  less  than  20,000  heads  of  families  have  removed  from  Canada  since 
Sept.  1837,and  so  far  as  I  have  ascertained  the  minds  of  many  of  them,  they  are  for 
independence  the  moment  it  can  be  attained.  To  their  kindness,  my  family,  in  a 
strange  land,  and  without  the  means  of  support,  owe  much.  But  for  their  timely 
aid  the  persecution  of  the  American  authorities  would  have  been  as  unbearable  as 
it  was  severe,  wanton  and  unprovoked. 

Yet  it  would  be  wrong  to  blame  the  American  People  because  they  did  not  aid 
you  as  France  aided  their  fathers.  Hod  they  been  polled,  I  am  satisfied  they 
would  have  willingly  consented  to  cross  the  St.  Lawrence  en  masse  to  secura 
your  deliverance  from  the  English  yoke,  but  the  leaders  of  parties  had  more  inter- 
ested  views,  and  they  prevailed. 

I  have  been  in  no  way  connected  with  the  military  movements  on  your  frontier 
since  the  winter  of  1837-8,  neither  am  I  in  the  least  discouraged  by  them.  Prepare 
yourselves  for  a  change ;  use  all  the  means  in  your  power  to  hasten  it,  and  soma 
of  the  oldest  of  you  will  live  to  see  the  last  British  red  soldier  leave  the  banks 
and  shores  of  the  St.  Lawrence,  I  trust,  forever. 

Rochester,  N.  Y.,  January,  1840.  WILLIAM  L.  MACKENZIE. 

SOME  FEATURES  OF  A  CONSTITUTION  SUPPOSED  TO  BE 
SUITABLE  FOR  UPPER  CANADA.  AS  A  FREE  AND  INDE- 
PENDENT  REPUBLIC,^  JTA  PURE  DEMOCRACY.XD 

1.  The  govornmont  to  consist  ofthree  distinct  departments,  the  Lcgisla- 
tire,  Judicia  and  Executive,  the  members  whereof  shall  be  directly  elected 
by  the  People. 

2.  Universal  sufTragc— that  is,  all  elections  to  be  by  male  citizens  of  21 
years  and  upwards,  unstained  by  crime. 

3  The  Legislature  shall  consist  of  a  single  chamber,  a  General  Assem- 
bly of  one  hundred  members  to  bo  annually  elected.  Tho  people  will  be  a 
safer  check  on  hasty  or  selfish  Legislation  than  a  senate  made  independent 
of  them  for  4  or  6  years. 

4.  In  choosing  the  legislature,  population  shall  be  the  basis  of  representa. 
tion,  but  no  one  county  shall  contain  less  than  400  square  miles. 

5.  All  resolutions,  laws  c  statutes,  intended  to  bind  the  people  shall  be 
printed afler  they  have  passr.  i  ihe  legislrturc.and  been  formally  submitted  to 
tht  iitizensin  their  several  townships,  foi  (.heir  judgment  thereon;  andnoreso- 
lutioii,  '-iw  or  statute  shall  have  any  force  until  a  majority  of  the  citizens 
are  satisfied  with  and  approve  of  it. 

It  is  time  that  a  republivian  form  of  government  with  monarchical  insti- 
tutions were  dispensed  with  on  this  continent,and  is  hoped  that  UpperCanada 
mav  be  among  the  first  states  to  sot  the  example. 

The  principle  of  instructing  representatives  may  be  necessaf^  whore  the 
law  is  passed  without  consulting  ttiose  whose  business  is  to  obey  it ;  but 
where  the  people  keep  the  check  in  their  own  hands  it  is  improper.  To  send 
a  representative  to  hear  and  argue  and  reason  and  then  make  up  his  mind, 
and  while  doing  this  to  instruct  him  to  vote  and  argue  in  this  way,  or  that ; 
to  oblige  him  to  rei  son  and  vote,  it  may  be  against  the  dictates  of  his  judg- 
ment and  coiiscienie  ;  to  p'ace  tho  determination  ahead  of  the  diucussion; 
to  have  one  set  of  nen  who  do  not  hear  the  argiimcnls,  decide,  tlio'  hundreds 
of  miles  distant,  kliat  which  another  set  ofir.cn  have  been  specia  ly  appoint- 
edlto  enquire  into  and  conclude  upon,  afler  full  investigation,  is  perhaps  not 
the  best  way  to  arrive  at  the  truth. 

6.  Ministers  of  the  Gospel  of  all  denominations  to  be  eligible  to  the  Icgisla- 
ture  or  to  any  oilice  in  the  slate. 

We  do  not  desire  to  see  secular  offices  filled  with  the  clergy,  and  if  the 
people  think  as  we  do  they  will  not  elect  them,  but  their  exclusion  from  th» 
rights  of  citizens  cannot  bp  defrndrd  on  mornJ  prinriplcs.

inal  case,  the  judge  shall  specify  the  measure  of  punishment,  but  if  two. 
thirds  of  the  jurors  dissent  in  opiuion  from  him,  ho  is  to  modify  the  sentence 
so  as  to  obtaiu  their  concurrence. 

11.  In  England  and  the  United  States  the  public  prosecutors  appear  to 
have  the  power,  either  before  or  aflcr  indictment  to  bring  to  trial  or 
pardon  whom  they  please,  without  any  rule,  system  or  responsibility  other 
than  their  mere  pleasure  or  private  interest,  of  which  instructive  proofs  have 
been  given  since  the  frontier  disturbances  began.  It  is  expedient  that  this 
power  be  modified  so  as  to  prevent  these  persons  from  making  political  capi. 
tal  for  their  patrons  at  the  expense  of  an  impartial  administration  of  justice. 

12.  Insteadof  summoning  a  convention,  adopting  a  few  general  rules, 
and  leaving  to  a  knot  of  interested  lawyers  to  twist  them  into  any  form  they 

f (lease,  under  the  name  of  statutes,  in  future  years,  it  is  proposed  that  tiic 
awsof  Upper  Canada  shall  consist  of  a  written  aad  well  arranged  code  of 
rules  to  be  agreed  upon  at  a  general  con  vention*of  the  people;  and  that  this 
code  shall,  before  it  takes  effect,  be  submitted  to  the  citizens  in  their 
primary  assemblies  to  vote  upon,  chapter  by  chapter. 

13  Under  such  a  system,  one  man  of  plain  understanding  would  imder- 
stand  plain  rules  as  well  as  another,  hence  the  occasion  for  an  organised 
monopoly  of  privileged  barri&ters  and  attornies,  to  expound  the  present  he. 
terogeneous  mass  of  what  is  now  called  law,  and  to  dispense  it,  would  be  at 
an  end,  and  therefore  the  trade  and  calling  of  a  lawyer,  like  than  of  an  edi. 
tor,  printer,  legislator,  watchmaker,  or  merchant,  would  be  thrown  open 
to  the  whole  people. 

14.  No  candidate  for  office,  or  witness  in  a  court  of  justice  to  be  ques- 
tioned as  to  his  religious  belief— and  all  swearing  of  oaths  to  be  done  away 
with.  Witnesses  in  courts  could  be  required  solemnly  to  affirm,  and  per. 
sons  appointed  to  offices,  solemnly  to  pledge  themselves  to  a  faith/ ul  per. 
formance  of  their  duties.     (See  Matthew  V  and  James  V.) 

15.  In  any  treaty  made  by  the  government  with  a  foreign  powcrf  it 
would  be  required  that  ths  whole  particulars  should  be  laid  before  the  legis. 
lature  i  and  if  it  approve  ofthe  conditions,  as  also  the  people  in  their  town, 
ships,  such  Ireaty  is  then  to  form  part  of  the  supreme  law. 

16.  Chei^>  and  portable  editions  of  the  laws  to  be  provided,  so  that  all 
persons  may  have  copies  for  reference. 

17.  The  duties  of  the  executive  department  to  be  exorcised  by  a  Govern, 
or,  who  shall  hold  his  office  for  two  years. 

18.  Provision  to  be  made  for  the  election  of  ••  Treasurer,  Secretary  of 
State,  Superintendent  oi^ Education,  &c.;  and  for  a  successor  to  the  gov. 
•mor  in  case  he  died,  resigned  or  was  removed. 

19.  County  Officers  to  be  chosen  by  the  people  at  proper  intervals  ;  also 
township  officers. 

Our  views  in  detail  on  these  subjects  will  be  seen  in  the  next  almanack, 
or  the  companion  thereto,  next  June,  ^.,  j<'hich  the  attempt  at  codification 
will  bo  made.     If  imperfect,  let  the  nCr-^p:  be  reasoned. 

20.  The  post  office  department  is  to  consist  of  such  post  offices  on  liuch 
post  roads  as  the  law  may  direct.  The  rates  of  postage,  on  letters,  news, 
papers,  magazines  and  pamphlets,  and  of  remuneration  to  officers,  toJMKre-

^ulated  by  law,  but  so  as  to  yield  no  surplus  revenue.  All  post  maitsn  to 
be  elected  annually  by  the  people,  but  must  bo  approved  by  tho  Sunreyor  of 
Post  Roadfl,  and  be  liable  to  removal  by  him,  i 

21.  All  public  unappropriated  lands  within  Upper  Canada,  all  lands  that 
have  been  granted  or  conveyed  to  priests,  clergymen,  or  religious  societies 
or  ttachers,  or  to  churches,  congregations,  occtarian  collegefl,  schools  or 
hierarchies  of  any  sect  or  denomination,  or  undcrthn  form  or  title  of  King's 
college  land.s,  university  lands,  giebcn,  rnctoricd,  school  lamb*  or  by  any 
othtr  name  whatever,  whether  hy  the  British  or  Colonial  Authorities  or  : 
those  under  them,  or  any  public  authority  wliatevcr,  are  to  betaken  to  be  * 
tlio  property  of  the  State  for  its  public  use. 

Q'2.  It  is  believed  that  the  fair  sale  by  auction,  in  the  way  that  the  lairs 
would  direct,  of  a  portion  of  the  public  domain  from  timo  to  time,  would 
furnish  the  means  for  maintaining  the  government  and  its  officers,  without 
any  inland  or  other  tax.  It  is  therefore  proposed  that  trade  and  commerce 
with  all  other  countries  be  free  and  unshackled.  If  it  is  deemed  advisable 
lo  forbid  any  foreign  luxuries  they  may  be  prohibited. 

23.  The  townships  and  counties  to  hav&  leave,  under  proper  regulations 
to  assess  themselves  for  educational  and  other  purposes,  appoint  their  offi. 
ccrs,  and  have  their  ac    luntsduly  audited  and  checked.  '! 

24.  Although  borrowing  money  is  one  of  tho  last  things  a  free  people 
iliould  attempt,  it  may  sometimes  be  necessary  to  do  so.  The  legislature 
may  pass  laws  authorizing,  in  detail,  the  borrowing  of  money  on  the  credit 
of  the  State,  or  on  certain  lands  or  income — each  law  to  state  the  precise 
eiim  to  be  borrowed,  to  limit  the  terms  of  tho  loar  and  to  agree  to  the 
times  of  repayment.  If  a  majority  of  the  people  in  their  townships,  at  two 
successive  stated  meetings,  vote  in  approbation  of  such  a  measure,  it  shall 
have  force,  but  not  otherwise. 

25.  The  stato  sliall  neither  lend  its  credit  to  any  individual  nor  to  asso. 
ciations,  professing  to  carry  on  internal  improvements,  nor  shall  it  become 
the  partner  of  any  private  company  or  creatj  any  corporation  of  an  exclusive 
cliaracter.  [When  the  state  lends  its  ere  .tit  and  the  experiment  succeeds, 
the  rich  stockholders  reap  all  t)ie  profit.  When  it  fails,  as  is  the  case  19 
times  out  oi  20,  the  poor  farmers  sufTe.  the  loss.] 

26.  In  thu  collection  and  keepirg  of  educational  and  other  funds  care 
must  be  taken  not  to  allow  large  jalanccs  to  accumulate  in  the  hands  of 
individuals. 

22.  In  all  laws  made  and  to  be  made  every  person  shall  be  bound  alike— 
neither  shall  any  tenure,  estat^;,  charter,  statute,  degree,  birth  or  place,  con. 
fer  any  exemption  from  the  r,rdinary  course  of  legal  proceedings  and  rcspon.

my  person,  class,  or  orde/ of  persons.  Or  their  property,  from  apch  public 
duties,  taxes  or  burthens  as  others  may  be  subjected  to.  Every  profession, 
trade  or  business  not  hi'ftful  to  community  shall  be  equally  open  to  the  pur. 
•uit  of  all,  without  chrrter,  license,  inpedimcn*  or  prohibition. 

28.  The  coins  in  Ir.wful  circulation  in  the  United  States  shall  be  the  only 
legal  currency  of  C  iuada,  until  a  coinage  of  equivalent  value,  but  stampt 
by  ounces,  half  anc'  quarter  ouncesf  can  be  substituted. 

2i).  No  treasury  notet),  exchequer  bills,  or  iny  other  promissory  notes 
shall  be  issued  by  the  government,  nor  shall  it  receive  and  pay  those  whom 
others  may  issue.  All  public  officers  shall  pay  and  receive  current  money

33.  The  growth  of  large  cities  being  unfavorable  to  liberty;  aud  their 
iplendid  governnionti  of  inavorii,aldermoii  and  corporation!  with  many  pow. 
era  and  privileges  withheld  Irom  thu  community,  unauitable  to  a  country 
where  honest  induHtry  is  conuidcred  msti's  only  sure  dependence  for  the 
enjoyment  of  contentment  and  peace,  the  charters  of  all  such  are  to  be 
abolished,  and  frugal,  plain  governments  erected  in  their  stead,  under  a  gen. 
eral  law  to  apply  to  all  places  where  there  is  a  crowded  population. 

34.  Debts  hcreteforo  lawfully  coutraclcd  may  be  collected  by  due  courte 
©flaw— but  ,    ,'f 

35.  No  law  shall  ever  bo  passed  or  court  established  for  the  collection  of 
debts  hercaAertobe  nontrao'ed  between  man  and  man,  or  arising  from  vol. 
untary  agreement  bctvr  ..tics  whereby  the  one  relinquivhcs  a  right  to 
•ome  property  for  the  a  or  expectation  of  an  equivalent  hereafter. 

[This  law  would  plu  oank.aot<jK,  shares  of  stock,  mortgageB,bonds,  pro. 
missory  notes,  payable  with  or  without  interest,  conditional  pledges  of 
estate,  and  all  paper  securities  whatever  in  the  situation  of  debts  of  honor 
not  to  be  recovered  by  law.  The  most  usurious  bargain  might  bo  made, 
but  it  would  bo  optional  with  the  party  promising,  to  pay  or  evade  the  claim. 
No  man  could  be  compelled  to  part  with  his  property,  but  if  he  did  so  with- 
out  value  he  must  trust  to  the  integrity  of  his  debtor.  U.  Canada  is  cursed 
with  about  500  courts,  for  the  re-:ovcry  of  debt,  with  hosts  of  judges,  com'rs, 
lawyers,  constables,  clerks,  and  other  officers,  armed  with  processes,  war. 
rants,  usages,  cognovits,  judgments,  bills  of  costs,  &,c.,  sufficient  to  keep  the 
entire  population  in  endless  misery.] 

36.  As  the  alteration  contemplated  in  the  last  and  other  clauses,  would 
lessen  the  volume  of  the  currency,  the  convention  on  investigation  ought  to 
examine  and  establish  a  tariff  between  debts  contracted  •  in  depreciated  pa. 
per  and  the  gold  and  silver  they  are  here  required  to  be  paid  in,  of  $60,  $70, 
$80  or  $90  as  the  equivalent  of  $100  heretofore  borrowed.  This  not  to 
apply  to  the  banks  in  so  far  as  they  would  have  to  take  their  own  paper  at 
par  in  payment  from  their  debtors. 

37.  Landlords  may  own  a  thousand  houses  or  farms,  and  make  such 
agreements  with  the  tenants  they  admit  on  their  premises  as  they  think  lit, 
■oregulating  the  covenants  as  to  assure  themselves  prompt  payment,  and 
on  a  default  may  promptly  eject  the  tenant,  but  are  to  have  no  power  to 
mU  or  seize  his  furniture  or  property  for  rent  or  arrears  of  rent. 

38.  All  the  power  now  enjoyed  by  the  rich  of  intimidating  the  poor,  being 
taken  away,  voting  by  ballot  is  abulished,  and  oviry  man  sTiall  give  his  sui. 
frage  openly,  as  a  man,  viva  voce. 

39.  The  laws  of  primogeniture,  half  blood  and  entail  arc  to  be  annulled, 
and  the  sons  and  daughters  of  parents  who  may  die  intestate  shall  inherit 
equally  the  family  patrimony. 

40.  A Aer  marriage  the  real  estate  possessed  by  a  man  and  his  wife  shall 
be  held  to  belong  to  them  jointly,  insomuch  that  no  sale  or  lease  made  by  the 
one  without  the  consent  of  the  other,  shall  be  valid.  And  in  the  making  of 
wills  varying  the  ordinary  course  of  descent  of  property,  no  such  will  or  tee. 
taroent  shall  be  lawful  unless  agreed  on,  signed  and  acknowledged  by  hus. 
band  and  wife,  her  part  and  portion  being,  on  every  principle  of  rational  jus. 
tiee,  the  same  as  his.  In  case  the  woman  survive  her  husband  and  there  be 
no  children  or  lawful  will  she  shall  be  entitled  to  half  the  property  real  and 
persenal/    If  there  be  children  she  shall  have  one  third. 

41.  Equal  freedom  shall  be  extended  to  all  in  the  enjoyment  of  religious

44.  On  the  question,  wht'thcr  verdicts  for  libel  subjecting  citizens  to 
criminal  punisiimuiit  an;  or  aro  nut  unjust  in  principle,  I  wuuld  gladly  re. 
ccivo  information  previous  to  next  June.  My  friend  Solomon  Souihwick, 
after  40  years  of  editorial  cxpurioncc,  declared  them  unjust.  Ilia  proper 
that  every  person  may  freely  speak,  write  and  publish  his  suntiinunts,  being 
respoiiHible  for  the  abuse  of  liiat  right.  How  is  the  responsibility  to  be  en. 
forced  7 

45.  Tho  establishment  of  largo  cotton,  silk,  woollen,  or  other  factories 
where  thousands  of  the  youth  ot  both  sc.xcs  could  be  seduced  from  the  homes 
of  their  parents  by  the  hope  ofgain,  and  immured  many  hours  a  day  should 
bo  discouraged  as  fur  as  precujit  and  limiting  the  hours  of  working  can 
do  so.  They  are  unhealthy  aixl  immoral,  f^cvcr  did  boy  or  girl  look  hand. 
somer  than  in  the  home  niadu  stuffd  ,spun,  wove,  and  dyed  on  the  fdrni  and 
in  the  house  of  their  pan-nts. 

40.  In  such  a  republican  state  of  society,  poorlaxvs  wiltacarccly  be  found 
necessary,  except  perhaps  an  institution  for  mildly  treating  those  who  have 
lost  their  reason,  and  another  for  instructing  the  deaf  and  dumb,  and  tho 
blind. 

47.  Lotteries  arc  anti-republican  (see  page  36,)  and  to  be  prohibited  ;  and 
all  gambling  to  be  discouraged,  especially  thro^  prc^.t>tH  to  youth  in  com- 
mon school  books. 

4S.  No  man,  wlielher  white  or  black,  citizen  or  stranger,  should  be  hdd 
in  personal  bondage  as  the  slave  of  anotiier.  Slavery  is  a  violation  of  tho 
niorid  law,  and  its  existence  in  America  deeply  to  be  rcjreted.  But  altho* 
it  were  at  an  end  iu  tho  southi  ru  states,  the  whites  and  blacks  would  not 
amalgamate  ;  the  coloured  population  would  not  bo  received  into  society  on 
an  equality  with  tho  whites.  'I'he  remedy  is  to  give  to  the  coloured  pco|>le  the 

country  west  of  the ,  in  full  sfjvori-ignty  forever,  solely  to  their 

use,  Ko  that  they  may  enjoy  Huch  political  institutions  and  live  under  such 
laws  as  they  think  doi^irabio,  instead  of  being  deceived  by  a  mockery  of  po. 
litical  equality  in  Upper  Canada. 

49.  Instcid  of  enabling  lawyers  to  embarrass  rultora,  perplex  juries  and 
pervert  jusiice  for  hire  and  gain,  by  what  is  crmcd  judicial  legislation, 
through  which  the  precedents,  usages,  decisions,  laws  and  law  authorities 
of  other  nations  arc  often  admitted  as  a  rule  of  action,  the  following  cardi. 
nal  principles  of  rational  justice  are  to  bo  forever  taken  and  pleaded  as  the 
supreme  law,  an  unerring  guide,  a  statutory  regulation  never  to  be  forgot, 
ten,  viz  : — "  All  things  whatever  ye  would  that  men  should  do  to  you,  do 
ye  even  so  to  them."— M  .ttliew  7  &.  12:  and,  *'  Thou  shall  love  thy  neigh- 
bour as  thyself." — James  2  &  8.     Tiiis  is  Hio  precept  of  the  law  of  nature. 

50.  The  setting  apart  otic.seventh  of  our  lime,  so  as  to  make  Sunday  a 
day  of  rest  from  labour — and  the  precepts,  not  to  covet  that  which  is  ano- 
ther's, to  do  no  murder,  neither  to  rob  nor  steal,  to  honor  our  parents,  and 
not  to  bear  false  witness  against  our  neighbour,  should  be  embodied  in  the 
republican  code  ;  and  wliile  strength  or  courage,  cleanliness  and  temperance 
aro  pointed  out  as  moral  virtues,  tho  offunccs  of  drunkeniiojs,  cowardice  , 
tilthineas,  ignorance,   idleness  and  sloth  should  be  suitably  denounced.

THE  CAROLINE  ALMANAC— COMPANION  TO  DITTO- 
MACKENZIE'S  GAZETTE— HIS  IMPRISONMENT- 
RATES  or  POSTAGE.— We  liave  laboured  hard  to  complete  this 
little  work,  i  ich  will  be  found  useful  for  reference,  being  supplied 
with  a  copic  '  lex.  The  price,  a  dollar  and  a  half  per  dozen, 
twelve  dollars  and  a  half  per  hundred,  eighteen  dollars  per  groce,  or 
at  the  same  rate  for  any  other  quantity,  would  not  pay  expences,  but 
there  have  been  sotne  donations.  The  Almanac  contains  nearly  three 
sheets,  and  is  a  periodical — part  of  the  Companion  to  it  is  in  type 
and  will  appear,  if  possible,  next  June.  The  Almanac  for  1841,  we 
hope  to  have  ready  for  delivery  by  September.  MACKENZIE'S 
GAZETTE  is  ptibiished  weekly,  at  Rochester,  N.  Y.,  at  $2  a  year 
when  sent  by  mail,  and  contains  much  that  will  be  interesting  to  the 
lovers  of  democracy  and  friends  of  Canadian  Independence.  No  one 
can  read  the  Oazeite  and  Almanac  without  seeing  that  they  are  pre- 
paring men'      linds  for  a  change  in  Canada. 

Mr.  Mackeuzie  lifts  been  seven  months  in  close  confinement,  and 
other  eleven  montiisof  the  bars  and  bolts  are  assigned  to  him,  if  his 
constitution  should  enable  him  to  survive  so  long.  His  imurison- 
ment  3  unjust,  for  he  never  ojQTended  against  the  laws,  and  it  he  had 
it  is  cruel  thus  vindictively  to  single  out  a  stranger  advanced  in  years 
on  a  charge  of  asking  aid  for  the  oppressed  in  Canada,  from  a  city 
which  had  invited  him  from  Toronto  for  that  purpose.  The  sentence 
of  Judges  Thompson  and  Conklin  resembles  the  ha^sh  punishments 
of  a  Jeffries  and  a  Norbury,  yet  they  are  sustained  tnus  far  by  Mr. 
Van  Buren,  and  no  member  of  Congress  has  raised  his  voice  in  favor 
of  the  oppressed  ixile.  Mr.  Mackenzie  is  without  means,  with  a 
large  family  dependent  on  him,  in  a  foreign  country,  and  so  closely 
imprisoned  in  the  receptacle  for  felons  and  prostitutes  at  Rochester, 
as  to  be  denied  the  range  of  the  jail  inside,  and  never  allowed  to  go 
outside,  not  even  into  the  yard  for  air  and  exercise.  For  half  of  the 
past  seven  months  he  has  been  very  unwell,  but  the  representations 
of  physicians,  as  well  as  his  own,  were  insufficient  to  procure  him  re- 
lief from  Ml.  Forsyth,  and  he  is  satisfied  that  the  representationsof  G^ar'
